I'm an analytical, results-driven data professional with six years across data modeling, reporting, statistical analysis, and dynamic dashboards.

Expert in SQL, Python and R, with growing depth in AI-driven analytics workflows. I don't just measure products. I build them: my solo iOS app, Lucid, is live on the App Store. Off the clock, I read psychology to sharpen how I read people and data alike.
