01 · About

Clear analysis, dependable systems.

I'm a business analyst who connects stakeholders, requirements, and data to decisions. I map workflows, define KPIs, and translate business needs into automated pipelines and AI-assisted tooling. Because I can also build the software and models behind the analysis, the distance between insight and delivery stays short.
