I'm a senior BI analyst at Indeed with a four-year stretch that's split between dashboarding and product strategy. I've sat on the data side of the table and on the GTM side of the table, which is where most of my best work has come from - when the person modeling the funnel is the same person deciding what to build next.
This page is the long version. There's a PDF resume if you'd rather skim.
"Returned ~1,500 hours per year" reads differently from "dramatically improved efficiency." If the metric isn't there, the decision wasn't real. I write - and ship - with that filter on.
The hardest work I've done in product strategy was saying no, and being able to show the math for why. I'd rather ship one thing whose impact I can defend in a quarterly review than three things I can't.
Every project I write up has a "what I'd do differently" section. Not as a performance of humility - as the part hiring managers actually grade. If you find an analyst who can't name the tradeoff they made, they didn't make one.
I started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2006 and earned my black belt in 2020. I train at Paragon BJJin Austin. I love it because it keeps me in great physical shape, keeps me mentally sharp, is genuinely fun, and is easy to keep doing for decades. It's also been an amazing social outlet - I've met hundreds of people and made friends from all walks of life around the world through jiu-jitsu. It's shaped me into the person I am today.
I am a deeply nerdy listener - discovering and cataloguing new music is something I've done since I was a teenager. There's a live feed of what I've been playing on the /now page if you want to argue with my taste.
I'm halfway through an MS in Data Analytics at WGU, mostly because there were two or three CS-shaped holes in my analyst toolkit I'd rather close than route around. It's not glamorous; it's how I keep the underlying machine sharp.
