Applied Economist & Development Data Analyst
Development Analytics | Public Policy | Data Science | Business Intelligence
I transform complex socioeconomic, financial, spatial and administrative data into reproducible evidence, decision-oriented dashboards and policy-relevant analytical products.
About
