What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply econometrics and quantitative modeling to real-world markets—building policy-ready insights, forecasting trends, and designing mechanisms (auctions/competition) that account for small firms and labor-market impacts.

I’m a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at Rice University, where I build quantitative models and use econometrics to study market competition, procurement auctions, and technology adoption. My work focuses on turning large-scale data analysis and computational methods into clear, decision-ready evidence.

Since April 2025, I’ve been a Data Scientist/Economist (Short-Term Consultant) with the World Bank Group, analyzing generative AI adoption across 200+ countries and delivering policy briefs, interactive dashboards, and reports. I also develop empirical analyses on global labor market impacts using Lightcast data, and I translate complex findings into actionable guidance for global digital development programs.
