PhD in Psychology — consumer behavior & computational psychology. Got into data science almost by accident, and never looked back. I build small tools, run analyses, and explore ideas across disciplines just because it's interesting.
Currently working as a business value interviewer in portfolio management & investment analysis. On the side: researching, coding, and occasionally breaking things to understand them.
"Learning in public. Breaking things to understand them."
