The numbers make the case. The story wins the room.

I'm an economist by training and a storyteller by nature. Those usually pull in opposite directions — rigor versus persuasion — and most of my work is spent proving they don't have to.

I've used that combination on very different audiences: voters, where data becomes campaign strategy and a message that moves turnout; and buying committees, where the same discipline becomes a business case a room of skeptics will sign off on. Different stakes, identical method — find what the data actually says, then make people feel why it matters.

Right now that lives at Tipalti, where I work in Sales and build the AI agents and workflows that automate the go-to-market motion around it — qualifying leads, researching accounts, drafting the first outreach so a rep isn't starting from a blank page.

The projects on this site are the engine room behind that. When the analysis got repetitive, I automated it; when the data was locked in a portal, I wrote something to free it. Everything on the technical side is self-taught — mostly by breaking things and reading the error messages carefully.

Off the clock: meditation, tea, politics, history, strategy games, and the occasional side project that starts as a one-off script and refuses to stay small.
