Background

Before starting Dialed Intelligence, I worked as an Investment Banking Analyst in municipal finance, a data analytics intern at HP Tech Ventures, and contributed to computer vision research at the NBER.

I completed my Master's in Data Science at Northwestern University, with an emphasis in Artificial Intelligence. My main coursework was focused on deep learning, data engineering, natural language processing, and AI agents. Now I'm an AI Engineer & Senior Consultant at Messina Group Consulting leading data transformation projects for top Private Equity firms.

How I work
-I solve problems with software.
-I optimize for ROI and minimal user friction.
-I turn data systems into value machines.
-Data Scientists help you understand a problem, engineers build tools to solve it, and I do both.

Beyond work

I live in Chicago, and I read widely across fiction, nonfiction, philosophy, economics, and sociology. I am interested in how systems shape outcomes, and how data can reveal patterns that help reduce suffering.

What it is for

I believe relationships and community matter more than anything else. I am building a business not just to earn a living, but to gain the resources and influence to make a difference on the issues I care about.
