About

I build analytics products.

I sit at the intersection of data analytics and product work. Deciding what a metric means, how it should look on screen, and what someone is supposed to do after they see it. I love the foundational mechanics of analytics. Architecting storage, coding data pipelines, and designing clear visualizations. At Open Architects, my focus is turning raw data into analytics products that people who aren't analysts open every day and act on. Great looking charts are meaningless unless they prompt action.

I'm a tinkerer by nature and an intense learner. If I'm not building something at work, I'm probably building something on a weekend just to learn how it works. Outside of that, you'll find me reading, spending time with my family, and cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks.
