As a seasoned statistician based in Oakland, CA, I bring a unique blend of executive leadership experience and a rich history of contributions to open-source software. My primary goal is to leverage my expertise in data-driven decision-making to foster positive change within my community.

My journey into the world of statistics and data science began in 2016 when I delved into R, igniting a passion that has since defined my career. Spending formative years at the prestigious UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, I emerged as a pioneering advocate for integrating Shiny into public health initiatives, a cause I championed through presentations at the Conference for Statistical Practice in 2017.

Transitioning into industry, I played a pivotal role in establishing a data-centric call center and eCommerce platform at Good Tree. My groundbreaking work in call center optimization earned recognition, culminating in a presentation at useR 2022, while my expertise in scaling Shiny applications led me to speak at RStudioConf 2018.

Currently, I serve as a data scientist at Evolent, where I specialize in analyzing insurance claims data to derive actionable insights. Additionally, I extend my services as a data science consultant to various clients, including prominent public health departments, where I contribute to impactful projects aimed at improving community well-being.

Driven by a deep-seated commitment to harnessing the power of data for societal good, I continue to push the boundaries of statistical analysis and open-source innovation, steadfast in my pursuit of effecting meaningful change in the world around me.
