01About

Building the quiet infrastructure behind good decisions.

I've spent the last year at the intersection of data and automation — helping teams replace spreadsheets and manual reporting with systems that just work.

My favorite projects sit at the seam between analytics and engineering: an ETL pipeline that surfaces a KPI leadership actually trusts, or a workflow that quietly reclaims twenty hours a week from an operations team.

I care about clarity, calm interfaces, and shipping the smallest thing that meaningfully moves the number.
