I turn data into measurable customer experience and process improvements.
What I'm looking for
At Optum and UnitedHealthcare, I’ve used customer, operational, and clinical data to improve decision-making, customer experience, and performance across complex business units.
I increased NPS by 25 points across eight business lines by applying Bayesian network analysis, ANOVA, regressions, t-tests, and survey data from more than 12 source systems. My future-NPS prediction model achieved 95% accuracy.
I build practical analytics products, including Power BI dashboards, Alteryx automations, unified Snowflake data views, and automated Qualtrics survey workflows. I’ve also led clinical software microproduct implementations and trained teams on project management tools.
My process-improvement work spans healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. I’ve reduced scrap by up to 95%, lowered changeover times, facilitated kaizen events, and taught graduate-level analytics coursework in SQL, Alteryx, ETL, and Power BI.
