Data Analyst — finance analytics, pricing, forecasting, and dashboards. Side projects under Tavern Analytics.
About
I partner with finance and operations teams on variance analysis, pricing strategy, forecasting, and interactive reporting — moving teams from static spreadsheets to automated Tableau, Looker, and SQL-backed insights. Outside of work I ship small, focused web apps under Tavern Analytics.
