About Me
Bridging the gap between Human Resources and Advanced Analytics.
Ever since I read the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in high school, I have been fascinated by how our ideas and perceptions about the world can actively influence the way we experience it.
I believe it is essential to be a well-read person in order to be a creative and empathetic problem solver. In organizational analytics, mathematical models are only as good as the psychological theory underlying them. By marrying rigorous statistics (R, Python, SQL, predictive logistics) with deep empathy for human motivation, we produce workforce systems that endure.
