Current Role

I'm a Principal Data Analyst at Capital One, where I work on turning complex data into actionable insights. My day-to-day involves a lot of SQL, a healthy amount of Python, and the occasional existential question about data architecture.

Background

I've always been drawn to understanding how systems work—whether that's databases, organizations, or the patterns that emerge from human behavior. This curiosity led me to data analytics, where I get to ask questions and (sometimes) find answers hidden in the numbers.

Before Capital One, I've worked across various industries, each time bringing a systems-thinking approach to data problems. I believe the best analysis comes from understanding not just the data, but the context it lives in.

Approach

  • Systems thinking: Understanding how parts connect to form wholes
  • Clarity over complexity: The best solution is usually the simplest one that works
  • Curiosity-driven: The most interesting insights come from asking "why" one more time
  • Visual communication: A good chart is worth a thousand rows of data

Outside Work
