About Me
Born and raised in San Francisco, I’ve always had an interest in science and engineering. Reframing problems as puzzles waiting to be solved them has always been how my brain works and approaches challenges.
I started my journey with engineering in High School working in the Machine Shop at the Exploratorium, an interactive science and technology museum. I’d spend hours taking apart exhibits to rebuild and repair them.
After developing my hands-on problem-solving experience, I pursued a Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research with a Minor in Data Science at UC Berkeley. This took my inclinations for tinkering and transformed it to a skillset focused on modeling and optimizing complex processes at scale. I also gained a deep appreciation and understanding for how to work with big data to gain meaningful insights.
See below for a more detailed overview of my past work.
Featured Project Portfolio

Technical Expertise & Methodologies
My approach to complex engineering challenges combines rigorous analytical methodologies with practical implementation experience across diverse industries. I specialize in developing solutions that enhance human decision-making capabilities rather than replacing domain expertise, focusing on tools that provide actionable insights under real-world operational constraints.
Core Technical Competencies: Python, SQL, MATLAB, R, Java, PowerBI, Google Cloud Platform, Enterprise System Integration, Real-time Analytics, Optimization Modeling
Industry Applications: Live Entertainment Operations, Global Supply Chain Management, Academic Research, Process Automation
Specialized Focus Areas: Real-time decision support systems, enterprise data migration, cross-functional stakeholder management, operational efficiency optimization
Current Focus & Future Direction
I am currently serving as Data Analytics Specialist at Another Planet Entertainment, where I continue advancing the intersection of real-time analytics and live event operations. My work focuses on developing predictive systems that enable immediate operational decision-making in high-stakes entertainment environments.
My professional development priorities center on expanding expertise in cloud-based analytics platforms, advancing real-time decision support capabilities, and deepening understanding of operational optimization across different industry contexts. I remain committed to building technical solutions that enhance rather than replace human expertise, creating tools that empower teams to make better decisions rather than making decisions for them.
