Message

At Taroko, I analyze SaaS subscription KPIs and use cohort unit economics to identify revenue and profit growth opportunities. My work combines BI dashboards and BigQuery SQL with Python machine learning, product analytics, and SEM/SEO analysis.

I also automate financial models for revenue and P&L reporting and rolling forecasts, analyze forecast-versus-actual variances, and monitor payment processing risk. Earlier, at Unilever, I worked on demand planning, production costs, and statistical process control.
