## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build AI-powered analytics and data products that solve meaningful business problems, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Business leadership.
```

## About

```text
At Airbnb, I architect AI-powered compliance and analytics products that combine LLM agents, live SQL execution, and domain-specific reasoning. I built a production agent that translates natural language into SQL workflows, delivering live insights in seconds.

Previously at Housing.com, I led experimentation across homeowner acquisition and monetization, improving lead delivery by 5% and listing conversion by 10%. I also built forecasting, lead scoring, churn prediction, and attribution models that improved productivity, reduced churn, and lowered CAC.

Across Cars24, Pristyn Care, and Gabru Di Chaap, I’ve built attribution platforms, geo-experiments, growth strategies, product experiments, and customer lifecycle programs. I enjoy translating business problems into production data products with Product, Engineering, and Business leaders.
