A little about me

Data Scientist at Point72, working with alternative data in energy and industrials. MS in Data Science from UMich. Best Outgoing Student at PSG College of Technology.

Any given day is some version of: deep in a data pipeline at work, going down a Claude Code rabbit hole, or recalculating my protein macros for the third time. Sometimes all three before noon.

Outside of that I'm usually listening to music on repeat or falling into a psychology rabbit hole I didn't mean to start.
