Data Science Leadership

I started in statistics because I’m drawn to clear thinking and better decisions at scale. That foundation still shapes how I lead data science and AI work today.

Technical Philosophy

Data science should make existing systems better. I care less about novelty and more about whether a solution improves real workflows and outcomes.

With AI, I prioritize ethical implementation and human-in-the-loop design. People bring context and judgment; good systems are built to support that.
