Experience

Princeton University - Office of the Dean of the Faculty


Data Science Developer

I am currently working as a contractor for Princeton University in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty. I am developing API integrations with Interfolio, a platform used by colleges and universities to manage faculty hiring, promotion, tenure, annual evaluations, and other academic workflows. These integrations automate data workflows and reduce the need for manual data entry and user updates. Additionally, I design and maintain interactive Tableau dashboards that provide insights into faculty headcount, enrollment trends, and pay transparency, supporting strategic planning and decision-making.

Akamai Technologies


Senior Data Scientist II

I served as Data Scientist and Product Owner for the Web Performance team for Akamai mPulse. Initially, I joined as a member of the Professional Services team, where I took on the role of a customer facing data science consultant for many of the world’s largest brands. After transitioning to a backend product development role, I built statistical models from large amounts of data to identify performance bottlenecks on customer websites and recommend actionable improvements toward the end user experience. I also created compelling visualizations to communicate these insights to executive management teams.

During my time at Akamai, I had the opportunity to share some of my work in public forums:
