Hey there,

I'm Kevin. I'm passionate about building elegant analytics solutions to help organizations solve complex business problems with clarity and impact.

I'm currently working on ESG data analytics at Center for Impact, building custom LLM pipelines and dashboards to support research and sustainability strategy development.

My approach to analytics is pragmatic – choosing the most effective, and often the simplest, method that solves the problem and speaks to the demand of cross-functional teams.

Outside of work, I like to spend my time playing music, playing tennis, taking photos, watching films, and cooking good food to share with friends.
