Marketing & Analytics Engineering Leader

7 years optimizing growth through data-driven insights and scalable analytics infrastructure

About

I'm a data leader who bridges the gap between technical infrastructure and business growth. With 7 years of experience at high-growth SaaS companies, I specialize in building marketing attribution systems, optimizing multi-million dollar ad spend, and creating data products that drive measurable ROI.

My expertise spans the full analytics stack—from dbt data modeling and pipeline architecture to statistical modeling and executive reporting. I've led teams that increased marketing ROI by 30%, optimized $6M+ in annual ad spend, and built data infrastructure serving 100+ stakeholders.

I'm passionate about leveraging AI tools and modern data practices to accelerate insights and empower data-driven decision making across cross-functional teams.
