The work

I've spent four-plus years making product decisions that live or die by what the data actually says — not what stakeholders assume it says.

The path

That work has taken me from ticketing infrastructure at Ticketmaster, where the margin for error on high-demand sale events is essentially zero, to analytics tooling at TheScore, where fan-facing product decisions move fast and instrumenting them correctly matters just as much as shipping them. Most recently at Lululemon, I worked inside the Merchandise Planning & Allocation systems that determine what shows up in stores — where a bad assumption upstream costs inventory, not just a sprint.

The focus

Across all three, the through-line was the same: someone needed to bridge the gap between what the data team built and what the product team could actually use. That's the problem I'm drawn to, and it's why I've drifted toward data platform and self-serve analytics as a focus area.

Outside work

I teach Python to teenagers in Roncesvalles and I'm building a trend-detection tool that indexes Reddit, Hacker News, and arXiv. I learn by building. It shows.

Capabilities

What I actually do.

01Data Platform

Treats the data layer as a product with real users — not plumbing.

At Universe (Ticketmaster), owned the checkout transaction data as the organizational source of truth: the system enterprise clients depended on to verify financial accuracy during quarterly settlements. Pipelines, contracts, and data dictionaries weren't internal artifacts — they were the product.

02Analytics

Builds the infrastructure that lets planning teams stop asking engineering for reports.

At Lululemon, consolidated fragmented purchase order and supply chain data into a single Anaplan planning system, enabling Global Planning leadership to independently track profit margins and unit profitability — without a ticket or a Slack message.

03Technical

Turns architectural tradeoffs into decisions that have a number attached.

At TheScore, partnered with engineering leads to define the API Gateway redesign — then translated that into a business case that secured alignment across non-technical stakeholders. Result: 56% latency improvement and 75% infrastructure cost reduction on a platform serving 5M+ users during Super Bowl traffic.

04Discovery

Finds the gap between what stakeholders ask for and what they actually need to decide.

At Lululemon, partnered with business domain experts to surface visualization requirements that weren't in the original spec — translating them into Anaplan module structures that reflected how planners actually thought about margin performance, not how the system was originally modelled.

05Documentation

Defines data contracts and terminology standards that don't require a translator.

At Ticketmaster, led the standardization of reporting terminology and data dictionaries across the Universe platform — establishing consistent definitions for orders, chargebacks, and reconciliation that reduced ambiguity across three downstream teams.

06AI / LLM

Actively building with LLMs — not just advising on them.

Currently developing a trend-detection tool that indexes Reddit, Hacker News, and arXiv to surface signal from unstructured text at scale. Brings hands-on Python and API integration experience to LLM product decisions — which means the “should we build this?” conversation starts from a real architecture question, not a feature request.

If you're building something that
lives and dies by its data,
I want to hear about it.

Whether you're hiring, building something interesting, or want to swap notes on product and data — I'm always open.
