About Me

I didn’t start out in data—but I’ve always been the kind of person who asks, “What’s really going on here?” Turns out, that question leads straight into analytics.

With a background in engineering and 5+ years in systems-focused roles, I’ve seen how messy real-world data (and decisions) can get. Somewhere along the way, I realized I enjoy cleaning that mess up, finding patterns, building dashboards, and turning “gut feelings” into actual insights. Lately, I’ve been sharpening my skills in Python, SQL, and Power BI and teaching myself how to make data speak clearly (and sometimes loudly when needed).

I’m naturally curious, slightly obsessed with solving problems and I don’t mind going down a rabbit hole if it leads to a useful answer. Also, I genuinely enjoy explaining insights to non-technical people without putting them to sleep. If you’re looking for someone who’s practical, thoughtful, and quietly persistent (with just enough humor to survive messy datasets), we’ll get along well.
