About Me

I’m a Ph.D. economist with more than a
decade of collective experience in the private sector and
academia. I’m an expert in using reduced-form and
structural econometric techniques to solve key business
problems at scale. I currently lead a team of scientists
as a Principal Economist within PXT (People Experience
Technology) Central Science at Amazon, providing
data-driven causal evidence to help senior leadership make
high-stakes workforce decisions.
