What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an async-first, remote team where I can build data products end to end—SQL/Python, BI dashboards, experiments, and AI-assisted analytics—while translating insights into clear business decisions and measurable outcomes.

I’m a data analyst and analytics engineer with hands-on experience across the full data stack—SQL, Python, BigQuery, and BI tools like Metabase and Looker. I’ve owned KPI definitions and delivered insights that leadership teams adopted to reshape product monetisation and growth strategy.

At a media organisation, I analysed 10M+ user interaction records, modelled a shift toward an ad-supported approach, and built revenue models projecting meaningful subscription and advertising lift. I design and run A/B tests, trace analytics inconsistencies back to raw data ingestion, and partner with engineering to improve organisation-wide data reliability.

Recently, I reduced merchant onboarding drop-off from 90% to 14% through funnel analysis and experimentation. I’m also building Theseus, an AI-powered semantic layer that lets non-technical teams query structured company data in plain English—because I care about making analytics usable, not just accurate.
