I build practical AI-enabled workflows for better research, analysis, and decisions—grounded in data, designed for people.

AI is not the point.
Better work is.

Technology moves quickly. Good judgment still matters. I work at the intersection of AI, data, and business—finding where intelligent tools can reduce friction without losing the human context.

My foundation in statistical science, economics, machine learning support, and strategic analysis helps me move from ambiguous problem to useful next step.

01

Find the friction

Understand the task, the people, and the decision before reaching for a tool.

02

Prototype the useful

Build a focused workflow quickly, with clear inputs, outputs, and a human review point.

03

Make it repeatable

Document what works, test the edges, and help the team adopt it with confidence.

Three ways I'm
building with AI.

These are the first experiments in the portfolio. Each one will become a full case study as I build it.

AI research copilot

A source-aware research workflow that turns a broad question into structured notes, evidence, and a decision-ready brief.
