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.
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.
I joined SOASTA as a Data Scientist after graduate school. In this new role, I was able to apply my existing quantitative training and further strengthen my computational knowledge using new tools and data frameworks. SOASTA was acquired by Akamai Technologies in April 2017.
Served as Research Assistant to Professor Alan B. Krueger.
