Fifteen Years of Data and Technology Expertise 

I excel at analyzing and manipulating data to help you complete your task or gain a competitive edge. I look for one-time and ongoing projects.

​ I enjoy working with large datasets in the finance, healthcare, ad tech, and business operation industries. Perhaps the most crucial skill I possess is the ability to explain the significance of data in a way that others can easily understand.

Types of work I do:

- Consulting: How to solve a problem, without actually solving it.
- Doing: Solving your problem based on your existing understanding of how to solve it.
- Concept: Exploring how to get the result you are interested in.
- Research: Finding out what is possible, given a limited scope (time, money) and your resources.
​ - Validation: Providing guidance that your existing or new team is going to solve your problem.

My Development Environment:

I generally use a dual computer-quad-monitor setup to access my various virtualized environments over my office fiber connection. This allows me to use any os needed (mac/windows */*nix) and also to rent any AWS hardware needed for faster project execution time and to simulate clients' production environments as needed. I also have all tools installed in the environments which make the most sense. I'm authorized to work in the USA. I can provide signed nondisclosure, noncompete and invention assignment agreements above and beyond the Upwork terms if needed, however I prefer to use the the pre-written Optional Service Contract Terms
