Helping people interact with the data they create, in the ways they want to.

Open for the Fall 2027 co-op cycle

Data science and economics at Northeastern, class of 2028, and a marketing analyst co-op at Wayfair. I build the layer between a database and the person who needs to read it, and often enough the database underneath as well: three Python libraries on PyPI, a budget app running at two schools, a field app on a working farm, a dashboard for a Chiari malformation lab. Open to contract work.
