Data-driven analytics leader delivering predictive models and operational impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a data-driven analytics leader with experience applying machine learning, time-series modeling, and risk analytics to deliver measurable business outcomes across fintech, logistics, and consulting sectors.
I have led analytics projects that unlocked a $21M syndicated EV deal, improved delivery times by 18%, and generated 30% of a departmental annual revenue by building scalable analytical tools and platforms. I combine hands-on technical work (Python, SQL, dbt, BigQuery, Databricks) with stakeholder alignment and operational execution.
I prioritize building production-ready analytics stacks, experimentation frameworks, and parameterized models that improve forecasting, segmentation, and decision-making while mentoring teams and scaling solutions across regions and asset classes.
