I’m passionate about using data to drive business decisions and uncover new opportunities. I enjoy working on predictive modeling, automation, and dashboard development to create impactful insights. I thrive in cross-functional environments, collaborating with teams to improve processes, optimize strategies, and bring data to life in a way that makes sense for everyone.

When I’m not working with data, I love snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing, and traveling. I also enjoy DIY projects and woodworking, always looking for creative ways to build and improve things. Photography is another passion, capturing the moments and places that inspire me. I’m always learning about new technologies, AI, and automation trends to stay ahead in my field.
