What I'm looking for
I’m an applied statistician and data analyst with an M.S. in Applied Statistics and 4+ years of experience in quantitative analysis and technical evaluation. My work centers on turning complex problems into reliable, well-explained results using rigorous statistical methods.
For the past several years, I’ve delivered 220+ remote tutoring sessions in statistics, probability, Python, R, and linear algebra, earning Top Tutor status and a 4.9/5.0 rating across 220+ sessions. I build evaluation rubrics and create practice problems, providing detailed written feedback for 40+ recurring students and translating advanced concepts into clear instruction.
I also bring a strong accuracy mindset from operational work at Amazon, maintaining a 99.7% order accuracy rate across 300+ daily picks while using RF scanners and WMS to track inventory and flag discrepancies. With training in Bayesian modeling, machine learning, and NLP—supported by Python/R and a modern tool stack like GitHub, Jupyter Notebook, and Google Colab—I’m ready to apply my analytical and communication skills to help teams make better data-driven decisions.
