I help researchers, businesses, and healthcare professionals turn complex data into clear, reliable, and actionable insights through rigorous statistical modeling, reproducible analysis, and publication-ready reporting. My approach goes beyond running tests. I focus on selecting the right methodology, validating assumptions, and delivering results that stand up in academic, clinical, and professional environments. Most data problems aren't solved by running more tests; they're solved by asking the right questions first.

DATA SCIENTIST โ€” everything I build, you can verify the math. I deliver transparent, auditable data models where every number can be checked. Specializing in quantitative research, statistical modeling, Data insights and automation. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION : I build and backtest equities, with live execution and kill switches on Alpaca where needed. Position sizing, risk allocation, rebalancing logic, all of it grounded in the math, not gut feel. Quick example of how I think: a momentum strategy covering 145 stocks was delivering 41% CAGR. Expanding to 245 stocks dropped it to 36%. Counterintuitive. The root cause: New stocks were selected on hot recent momentum, so by entry their cycle was already done. Built a 5-filter Monte Carlo system, tested 700+ parameter combinations, to identify which satellites are early-cycle vs peaked. Result: 43%+ CAGR with lower drawdown than the 145-only baseline. The problem wasn't the strategy. It was the timing of entry. Another example: I built a live MBS (Mortgage-Backed Securities) forecasting and trading system for a fund client, covering 265+ cohort securities across weekly, monthly, and quarterly return horizons. The interesting part wasn't the ML, it was the feature design. Standard technical indicators on bond prices are noise. What actually drives MBS price movements is duration, convexity, prepayment rates, regime variables like curve steepness, VIX, and Fed MBS holdings. Every feature built from first principles, nothing borrowed from a vendor that can't be verified. This is where I spend most of my time. Systematic backtests, portfolio construction, Monte Carlo optimization. No black boxes, no ML hype every output can be checked in a spreadsheet. Not "add more data." Find the actual structure driving returns, and build features that reflect it. DATA SCIENCE & ANALYTICS I've worked across real estate, e-commerce, and financial analytics, usually called in when a team has data but no clear answer yet. I focus on getting to a decision you can act on, not a 40-slide deck. Results worth mentioning: ML automation cut a client's data processing from 286 days to 1 day, after they'd run the same manual process for two years without realizing it was automatable Ad spend attribution model that improved campaign ROI by 25% WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT โ–ธ I show my work. Every model, every analysis, every number comes with the method behind it, so you're never trusting a black box โ–ธ I'd rather tell you a strategy doesn't hold up than build you something that looks good and fails in real world. โ–ธ I scope real problems fast: send me what you're working with and I'll tell you within 24 hours if and how I can help

Your ops person exports the same file every Monday. Someone cleans it, emails it, explains it. Next month, same loop. I build the system that ends it - handed over documented, so you never depend on a freelancer to read your own numbers. I build Excel, Google Sheets, and Python systems that turn messy files into clear models, dashboards, forecasts, and reporting your team can run without me. Core work: financial models, cash flow forecasts, FP&A dashboards, KPI reporting, Excel automation, and decision-support tools for founders, finance leads, and operations teams. ๐—ช๐—›๐—”๐—ง ๐—œ ๐—•๐—จ๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐—— โ€ข Cash flow forecasts โ€” 13-week and 12-month models with scenario inputs, stress flags, refresh logic, and clear cash visibility. โ€ข FP&A dashboards โ€” budget vs actuals, KPI tracking, variance analysis, management reporting, and board-ready views. โ€ข Financial models โ€” DCF, IRR, pricing, scenario and sensitivity tables with clean separation between inputs, assumptions, calculations, and outputs. โ€ข Excel + Python automation โ€” reporting pipelines, multi-source consolidation, data cleanup, Power Query, VBA, pandas, and openpyxl. โ€ข Google Sheets + Apps Script systems โ€” forms, live trackers, approval flows, scoring systems, dashboards, and scheduled workflows. โ€ข Procurement and pricing benchmarks โ€” vendor matrices, cost frameworks, KPI scorecards, and decision-ready summaries tied to business impact. โ€ข Excel model audits โ€” formula cleanup, logic restructuring, documentation, and handover notes so non-technical teams can own the model. ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—–๐—˜๐—ก๐—ง ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—จ๐—Ÿ๐—ง๐—ฆ โ€ข โ‚ฌ35,200 in stuck revenue surfaced on the first run of a 13-week cash flow engine โ€” disputed invoices and unapproved AP were flagged immediately. โ€ข 50+ KPI procurement benchmark framework built for client-facing decision work โ€” structured for a non-technical team to use without extra training. โ€ข 4 hours of weekly reporting compressed to under 20 minutes โ€” Excel + Python automation with full handover documentation. โ€ข Built live Google Forms + Sheets scoring and dashboard systems under tight deadlines with clean logic, real-time outputs, and reliable handover. โ€ข B2B Analyst at Vertex Strategic Research since October 2024 โ€” Excel and Google Sheets models used in production for real business decision-making. ๐—•๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ง ๐—™๐—œ๐—ง Finance, operations, procurement, or founder-led teams at 10โ€“200 person SMBs.
