Jeff blends hands-on expertise with strategic insight—designing data strategies, advising on analysis techniques, and translating technical vocabulary into usable data models for product, sales, and research partners. Technically fluent in Python, SQL, GCP, Airflow, dbt and Looker, he focuses on connecting tooling to measurable business outcomes.
