I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from New York University, with a focus on applied econometrics and causal inference. My work bridges academic rigor and real-world impact, using data to solve complex problems in technology, real estate, and automation. Alongside my research, I’ve co-founded and led ventures in property management and real estate. Across all domains, I prioritize precision and smart use of data.
