One Expert. Full Analytical Thread.
Most analysts specialize in either statistical modeling or data engineering. I do both — from running a confirmatory factor analysis to building the SQL database that stores your longitudinal data to the Tableau dashboard your leadership reviews each quarter.
No hand-offs. No black boxes. One expert, one coherent analytical thread from data collection through certified reporting.
“I will not execute analyses I believe are inappropriate for the data, even if requested. If my name is on the certification, the methodology is sound.”
