Background

Built across industries. Grounded in data.

I studied Applied Mathematics and Economics at UC Berkeley, graduating summa cum laude. Since then, I've spent 8+ years in analytical and product roles at companies ranging from seed-stage startups to publicly traded companies.

I've worked at NerdWallet, Agoda, Scopely, AppsFlyer, Speechify, and Flex AI — shipping features, running experiments, building data pipelines, and driving measurable outcomes. I've held roles as Lead Product Manager, Senior Data Analyst, Senior Product Analyst, and Product Analytics Consultant.

Outside of full-time work, I've mentored 1,400+ students in data analytics through Springboard, maintaining a lifetime rating of 4.96/5. I'm a published researcher in Radiation Research and have passed three actuarial exams.

I build things that work. I measure what matters. I keep it simple.

SmoothStart AI

Simple, practical AI adoption — without the stress.

Most businesses know AI can help them, but don't know where to start. I find the opportunities, set everything up, and make sure your team can use it on day one.

1

AI Opportunity Assessment

I look at your workflows and identify where AI can save real time and money. No guesswork — just the use cases that make sense for your business.

2

Workflow Design & Setup

Custom AI workflows tailored to your operations. I configure the tools, connect the systems, and build the processes so everything works together.

3

Training & Handoff

Your team learns to use everything independently. I provide clear documentation and hands-on training so you don't need me long-term.

Who this is for

  • Small businesses exploring AI for the first time
  • Founders who want to use AI but don't know where to start
  • Teams spending too much time on repetitive manual work
  • Companies that tried AI tools but couldn't make them stick

What it's not

This isn't a pitch for expensive enterprise software or a six-month consulting engagement. It's a focused, practical engagement where I find the wins, set things up, and get out of your way. You keep the results.
