Data analyst building Python and AI tools for QSR expansion analysis and data enrichment.

For my QSR market analysis in Italy, I standardized outlet data and regional indicators to support market comparison and outlet-density analysis. I also built a Python enrichment agent using Google Places API and OpenAI API to classify locations and flag uncertain matches for review.

At Zemenay Tech, I set container platform strategy and deployment guardrails across six product teams, reducing environment drift by 70%. I also developed zemenaytech.com and architected the ingest and retrieval layers of an AI recruitment pipeline that reduced time-to-hire by 40%.
