I’m a data scientist and entrepreneur with over eight years of experience driving growth and creating impact through AI and data science. My journey has been about more than just numbers—it's about turning insights into meaningful outcomes. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to over $1 billion in incremental revenue across industries like B2B, B2C, and marketplaces. Today, I’m the Venture Lead Data Scientist at UP.Labs, where I help build startups from the ground up. My role is a mix of creativity, problem-solving, and leadership—I develop new AI and data science concepts, work with incredible teams to bring them to life, and help scale our capabilities to launch innovative companies. UP.Labs focuses on creating transformative businesses, especially in transportation and mobility, and it’s exciting to be part of a team that’s shaping the future of these industries. Some highlights from my career: Helped generate over $1 billion in incremental revenue by applying data-driven strategies. Built scalable frameworks to consistently unlock growth across different business models. Worked with cross-functional teams to turn complex data into clear, actionable business strategies. I’m passionate about using data to solve tough problems and seize big opportunities. My work focuses on areas like revenue optimization, predictive analytics, and customer acquisition and retention strategies. At heart, I’m a builder—of teams, tools, and startups. I’ve also had the unique experience of blending my academic background (a Ph.D. in neuroscience) with my practical expertise in machine learning and business strategy. It’s this mix that allows me to tackle challenges creatively and push boundaries. If you’re interested in AI, startups, or the intersection of data science and business, let’s connect—I’d love to hear your story too!
