About

Data science professional with 5+ years of retail experience applying advanced analytics to drive strategic decision-making. Adept at transforming complex data into actionable insights within areas of pricing, merchandising, and customer behavior. Skilled in SQL (BigQuery, Trino/Presto), Python, and visualization tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI) to unlock patterns and optimize business performance. Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and effectively communicate technical concepts to leadership.

In my personal time, I enjoy rock climbing and photography (the technical challenges one needs to overcome in order to combine those two hobbies are very compelling to me).

Data Science & Retail Insights

I love finding data-driven insights to optimize pricing strategies, assortment planning, and customer experience. My background in retail fuels my passion for finding the stories hidden within data.
