EXECUTIVE PROFILE

I turn raw behavioral/psychological data into product efficacy engines.

I am a PhD-level Biostatistician and Top-Rated Upwork Consultant (100% Success Rate) with 16+ years of experience. I bridge the gap between academic rigor (Stanford Postdoc, 12,000+ citations) and commercial speed. I specialize in Automated Longitudinal Intelligence—building R/Quarto pipelines that ingest messy data and auto-generate audit-ready insights.

Core Value Proposition: I don’t just code and run statistics; I design the analytic plans and algorithms that power clinical dashboards, biotech trials, automated data reports, and mental health apps.
