About

The story behind the data

For more than seven years I worked inside fintech operations at a payment processor, helping a portfolio of 12,000+ merchants keep running: analyzing their transactional, billing, and settlement data across $50M+ in monthly volume, resolving discrepancies, and building the reports leadership relied on to make decisions.

That work made me want to understand the tools and processes behind it all more deeply, so I went back to school for a B.S. in Information Technology, expanding my technical foundation and learning how the systems I had worked with actually fit together.

Along the way I realized my real passion was in the data itself. I leaned all the way in, completing an intensive Data Analytics Bootcamp, building real-world projects in SQL, Python, Tableau, and Power BI, and preparing to begin an M.S. in Data Analytics. I continue sharpening my ability to turn messy data into clear decisions, a craft I plan to keep enriching for a long time.

Personal

Self-directed builds driven by curiosity rather than a syllabus: larger, open-ended, and engineered end to end. First up: AZIMUTH, in active development.

Beyond the data

The things I enjoy most when I'm not working.

🤺

Fencing

I love this sport for its blend of speed, strategy, and reading your opponent in real time. Proud registered member of USA Fencing.

🎬

Cinema

🚀

Space

Spaceships, space exploration, and honestly anything with the word "space" in it. It even sparked my AZIMUTH launch-analytics project.

👨‍👧

Family

I stepped out of the corporate world for a while to witness my first daughter's earliest milestones. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
