I transform raw data into actionable insights from a wide variety of sources, including financial, commercial real estate, law enforcement, and urban infrastructure metrics, using tools like Excel, SQL, Python, and Looker.
I practice human-centered design, conducting in-depth user interviews to uncover needs and insights. Using visual diagramming tools such as Miro and Visio, I map and clarify complex systems. Leveraging CAD tools like Rhino and SketchUp, I create prototypes to bring ideas to life and organize spaces with precision and clarity.
I rapidly prototype across both physical and digital spaces, transforming concepts into tangible solutions through iterative experimentation. My work extends into analytics engineering, where I streamline data workflows and develop metrics to measure success.

Inspired by Paul Polak's The Business Solution to Poverty, I began to see design as a powerful tool for solving systemic issues. This belief shaped my decision to pursue work that combines practicality, creativity, and social good.
As a Peace Corps volunteer in Mozambique, I implemented drip irrigation systems that improved food security and empowered communities to sustain themselves. This experience reinforced the transformative power of low-cost, human-centered design and deepened my understanding of collaboration, systems thinking, and resource constraints.
At Bloomberg in Dubai, I worked to expand foreign exchange and bond markets across Africa while consulting on sustainable agriculture projects. Navigating corruption, inefficiencies, and systemic barriers taught me the importance of transparency and clear systems in driving meaningful progress.
In New York, I took on the challenge of building Bloomberg's analytics infrastructure, tackling legacy systems that had become bottlenecks for efficiency. Working with cross-functional teams, I identified pain points, optimized data pipelines, and implemented scalable solutions. This transformation not only streamlined workflows but empowered global teams to access and act on clear, actionable insights—reinforcing my belief in the power of systems to drive progress.
At VTS, I built tools and frameworks that reduced complexity and drove transparency across the organization. Leveraging tools like DBT and Miro, I enabled teams to better understand, trust, and act on their data. This work solidified my belief in creating systems that empower people to see, understand, and drive impact.
In 2024, I embarked on a sabbatical to reflect, explore, and reconnect with the core of my work. Traveling across Latin America, I immersed myself in new cultures and perspectives, deepening my understanding of systems at human and societal levels. During this time, I began exploring the intersection of AI, systems thinking, and design—experimenting with graph-based applications and tools to simplify and understand complex systems. This period reinforced my commitment to clarity, empowerment, and meaningful impact.
