Digital Business Analyst

I leverage data and automation to create seamless digital experiences that solve complex problems.

About

While in college biotech labs, I found that my passion for making sense of data far outweighed my enjoyment of using a micropipette. This realization pushed me towards data analysis, automation, and process improvement.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to create solutions for a variety of industries, from a drone startup to the 12th largest credit union in California, and even in my own household.
These days, my main focus is on building efficient, user-friendly dashboards and applications that blend the latest technology with simplicity. Whether it's creating an actionable dashboard with Tableau, setting up intricate automations in Home Assistant, or optimizing business operations, I thrive on working where tech meets usability.
When I'm not in front of my computer screen, you'll likely find me trying a new restaurant with my partner, taking photos along a hiking trail, or experimenting with new recipes in my kitchen. And if I'm not doing any of those, I'm probably fixating on the latest Apple device.
