At Syneos Health, I lead data science and analytics initiatives supporting business, technology, and operational decisions across healthcare and life sciences programs. I reduced recurring analysis effort by approximately 30% through reusable analytical templates, workflow improvements, and standardized reporting logic.

I guide machine learning, statistical modeling, and decision-support work from requirements gathering and exploratory analysis through validation, documentation, and deployment collaboration. I also mentor team members on problem framing, statistical reasoning, model interpretation, and analytical design.

Before Syneos Health, I worked at Booz Allen Hamilton as a Senior Lead Engineer and Senior Software Engineer, delivering engineering, analytics, and technical consulting solutions for enterprise and government-sector clients. My software engineering background includes designing, developing, testing, and maintaining applications, as well as supporting the full software development lifecycle.
