I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Economics (Mathematical Emphasis) from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and have completed certifications in Python, data science, machine learning, and SQL from IBM, UC Berkeley, and the University of Michigan.

For over 20 years, I’ve applied these skills in high-performance finance and technology environments—building predictive models, automating workflows, and leading data-driven projects at hedge funds, trading firms, and regulators.

Teaching has always been part of my work. I’ve coached junior analysts through technical interviews, led data-science training sessions for new hires, and served as a career coach with Parabolic, helping early-career professionals land roles in analytics and finance. I also volunteered as a tutor with First Graduate in San Francisco, supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds.

My approach is practical and student-driven. I focus on real tools and real problems—helping students build confidence through clarity. Whether you’re learning Python, SQL, Excel, or machine learning, I’ll meet you where you are and push you forward with hands-on examples that make abstract concepts click.

Computer Science

Computer Science

I earned a B.S. in Computer Science and Economics with a Mathematical Emphasis from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, completing advanced coursework in algorithms, artificial intelligence, operating systems, and information security. Over 20 years, I’ve applied these skills building high-performance systems in Python, C++, Java, and Scala for hedge funds and trading firms. I specialize in automation, data modeling, and machine learning—bridging software engineering and quantitative analysis.
Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science and Economics (Mathematical Emphasis) from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, along with Data Science and Python Programming certificates from UC Berkeley, IBM, and the University of Michigan. I’ve spent over a decade building large-scale financial datasets. My experience includes refactoring and standardizing trade-data pipelines to match an updated Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) specification. Additionally, I built full data ingestion and research pipelines from multiple APIs integrating streaming and historical data. Furthermore, I developed dashboards and performance analytics for execution and slippage metrics using Dash and Python.
Data Science

Data Science

I’ve spent 20+ years applying data science in real-world, high-performance environments—building predictive models, data pipelines, and automation systems for hedge funds, regulators, and my own ML trading firm. I’m fluent in Python, SQL, Pandas, and Scikit-learn. I hold a BS in Computer Science and Economics with Mathematical Emphasis, along with data science & programming certifications from IBM, UC Berkeley, and Michigan. My work blends rigorous modeling with clear, interpretable analytics.
Information Technology

Information Technology

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Economics with a Mathematical Emphasis from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Over my career, I’ve designed and maintained large-scale information systems spanning data engineering, analytics, and cloud automation. My experience includes building end-to-end platforms using Python, SQL, AWS, and Databricks to integrate, monitor, and secure enterprise data pipelines. I focus on translating complex technical environments into reliable, efficient, and scalable IT solutions.
Machine Learning/ AI

Machine Learning/ AI

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Economics with a Mathematical Emphasis from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, along with professional certifications in Data Science and Machine Learning from UC Berkeley, IBM, and the University of Michigan. I have over a decade of experience designing, training, and deploying machine learning models in Python using libraries such as PyTorch, SciPy, scikit-learn, NumPy, and Pandas. My work includes building predictive models and anomaly detection systems for financial data, as well as automating end-to-end ML pipelines that improved accuracy and reduced costs. I teach machine learning with a focus on connecting algorithms to real-world outcomes through clear, practical examples.
