๐ŸŽฏ My Mission

As an analytical altruist, I believe that technical skills should serve a greater purpose.

๐Ÿ’ก The Power of Purpose-Driven Analysis

Too often, technical expertise exists in isolation from the communities it could serve. I’m here to bridge that gapโ€”combining rigorous analytical methods with deep understanding of social impact goals.

Each dataset tells a story. Corresponding visualizations can illuminate an injustice or highlight a success. Every automated process can free up human time for more meaningful work.
