He has built and led data teams and programs—most notably creating a Community Data Platform with 1,500+ metrics and a Healthy Communities Dashboard—while securing $1.6M in grants and $3.1M in pro-bono consulting impact. Comfortable bridging technical and executive audiences, he has driven revenue-generating modeling at Lowe’s and led analytics strategy and client-facing work at Elicit and Cardinal. A former math teacher and adjunct faculty, he brings a rare mix of pedagogy, mentorship, and applied statistics to product and policy problems.
