Overview

9 years in data science and analytics, the last 4 at Kingsway Software, where I work on the product analytics team. Replaced 34 hand-built dashboards with one metrics layer people trust. Built the product analytics models now used in 4 product decisions a quarter. Before that: Adobe and UnitedHealth Group. Most at home with Tableau and funnel analysis.
