About

Most teams aren't short on data. They're short on clarity. I build the systems that close that gap.

I take raw operational data and turn it into reporting people trust and act on — defining KPIs with stakeholders, modeling the data underneath, and making sure every number can be traced back to its source.

As Data Analytics Lead at Ayra Builders & Developers, I built forecasting models across $600K+ operating portfolios that identified $90K in annual savings and cut executive decision time by 40%. As co-founder of Buildbean, a B2B analytics startup, I built reporting that cut errors 60% and supported 20%+ margin improvement. I got my start as an analyst at Lokal (Y Combinator W19).

I'm finishing my M.S. in Business Analytics at UMass Amherst (Isenberg). The problems I like most sit where messy real-world data meets decisions that actually matter.
