Experience

Akamai Technologies


Senior Data Scientist

I am currently a Senior Data Scientist on the Web Performance team for Akamai mPulse. I build statistical models from large amounts of data to identify problem areas on customer websites and recommend actionable improvements toward the end user experience. I also create compelling visualizations to communicate these insights to executive management teams.


Data Scientist

As a member of the Professional Services team, I served as a customer facing data science consultant for many of the world’s largest brands. I delivered ad-hoc reports and analyses to provide customers with recommendations on areas to optimize their websites by leveraging Real User Monitoring data collected by Akamai mPulse.

In mid-2018 I transitioned to the product development team for mPulse where I had the opportunity to design and implement analysis and system dashboards for both internal and external audiences.
