About Me

Most strategists can't query the database. Most engineers don't think about the funnel. I do both. I turn raw CRM, marketing, and behavioral data into decisions people can actually act on.


My background sits at an unusual intersection: a Computer Science degree, a Master's in Industrial Engineering & Analytics from NYU, and hands-on analytics roles at a global media agency and beyond. Most recently, I led performance analytics for Google's account at EssenceMediacom (GroupM, WPP), where I ran 30+ A/B and multivariate tests, built Snowflake SQL pipelines that cut reporting time by 70%+, and partnered with PMs, strategy, and creative teams to turn insights into optimization roadmaps.


I also build the tools that help other people move faster — including two AI-powered analytics apps (a marketing ROI analyzer and a natural-language-to-SQL tool) that get non-technical users from raw data to a clear answer without waiting on an analyst.

What I Do

Marketing Analytics

End-to-end performance analytics across paid, email, and lifecycle channels. Attribution modeling, A/B testing, and ROI measurement that turns campaign data into optimization decisions.

Experimentation & Causal Inference

Designing and analyzing A/B, multivariate, and DiD experiments to measure true incremental impact — not just correlation.

Data Engineering & Pipelines

Building SQL pipelines in Snowflake and BigQuery, ETL workflows, and BI dashboards in Tableau, Power BI, and Looker that teams actually use.

AI-Powered Analytics Tools

Building LLM-powered apps (GPT-4, Streamlit) that let non-technical users self-serve data insights — from text-to-SQL to marketing ROI analyzers.
