About
Making technology that serves people, not the other way around.
I've spent 7+ years turning complex data into actionable insights, and I learned that the best analysis in the world means nothing if nobody can understand or use it. That's why I focus on the intersection of data analytics and user experience.
I believe in intentional design choices, thoughtful automation, and the idea that the best systems are the ones people want to use.
