About Me

A fresh look brought to you by Generative AI

Professional

My career includes over 15 years of data science, financial strategy, and business analytics for EY, PG&E, KPMG, Centene, and Bloomreach. I use the R and Python programming languages on a daily basis but am much more advanced with my R work. My teams apply data science techniques to empower decision makers with descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive insights. I sit somewhere between the business stakeholder and cloud engineering to develop and deploy automation pipelines, predictive models, interactive web apps, and simulations.

Scatter Podcast

In 2019, I launched Scatter Podcast to share career tips and insights from data science leaders for students, business managers, and professionals looking to pivot into data science. It was a fun and incredibly rewarding side project but after 30 episodes, I started to feel fatigued with the amount of time it took to plan, record, edit, market, etc. The podcast is on hold but not dead!
