What I do

Three ways I create value

Analytics Leadership

Built and led analytics systems that supported product, marketplace, marketing, supply chain, and finance decisions across global teams.

Data-to-Decision Systems

I design metrics, workflows, and interfaces that move beyond reporting and help people act on data.

Applied AI Product Building

I build AI-powered tools that combine structured data, LLMs, APIs, and clear UX to solve real user problems.

Featured Project

Restaurant Intelligence · B2B SaaS

Disha Analytics

Compresses 2 analyst-days of restaurant research into a 5-minute AI-powered intelligence report — deployed in production, with pilot reports run on live restaurants.

  • 6 specialist AI agents across 8 public data sources
  • Three delivery modes: Public Scan, Validated Report, Owner Walkthrough
  • Ranked action plan, competitor benchmark, and hypothesis checklist per report

Built end-to-end: Django 5 + React 18 + PostgreSQL + Celery/Redis async pipeline. Deployed on Hetzner. This is the consulting instinct I built at Amazon — turning complex data into a decision-ready output under time pressure.

These represent the kinds of problems I've worked on at scale - turning data into decisions across product, growth, and operations.

How I think

I focus on systems at the intersection of data, product, and decision-making - turning fragmented signals into structured insights, and building tools that help people act, not just observe. The question I keep coming back to: what should someone do next, given this data?
