Data Scientist and Researcher
I am a senior at American Univeristy, studying data science. I am from the Bay Area, California, and also studied in London at the LSE (London School of Economics). I admire telling stories through data. I like researching climate finance, tech policy, financial markets.
I pride myself in technical execution and policy understanding through empirical evidence. I want to build the bridge between Silicon Valley and Washington, DC.
Co-developed FastAPI application providing programmatic access to TPI Centre's climate assessments covering 2,000+ publicly listed companies and 85 sovereign entities, supporting 156 global investors managing $87 trillion AUM. Built RESTful endpoints for Management Quality (23 indicators) and Carbon Performance data, implementing Pydantic validation and generating carbon-intensity projections against 1.5°C sectoral benchmarks. Integrated ASCOR sovereign assessment framework (covering 85% of global GHG emissions and 90% of global GDP) with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and RAG features for intelligent data querying. Collaborated with 15-member DS205 team under Dr. Jon Cardoso-Silva and TPI Centre staff, applying test-driven development and CI/CD pipelines to deliver production-grade codebase serving real-world investor use cases.
Published 72-page research paper analyzing economic classification methodologies using 7 thematic dimensions beyond GNI per capita. Developed multidimensional development index incorporating income, infrastructure, trade, human capital, environmental, institutional, and health factors. Revealed policy-relevant distinctions obscured by traditional GNI classification—identifying middle-income countries with robust human capital but weak infrastructure, and countries with similar GNI but vastly different development profiles. Collaboration with LSE Data Science Society and economics students using World Bank API data, Python, and advanced statistical modeling.
Analyzed AI usage patterns across 200+ countries using Anthropic's Economic Index. Found emerging markets show 4-6 percentage point higher automation rates than developed markets—challenging assumptions about AI adoption being concentrated in wealthy nations. Published comprehensive research report examining implications for global development, workforce transformation, and policy responses. Utilized Python for data analysis and visualization, creating interactive dashboards to explore cross-country patterns.
Developing comprehensive policy analysis of stablecoin regulation, focusing on the GENIUS Act and Treasury Department frameworks. Examining AML/KYC requirements, reserve transparency, systemic risk implications, and international regulatory coordination. Research bridges technical understanding of stablecoin mechanisms with policy implementation challenges, drawing on insights from TPI climate finance work and Intermezzo.ai compliance automation experience.
Random Forest classifier for product quality assessment. 98% accuracy across 9K product titles with critical analysis of data leakage limitations.
Multi-agent AI system combining OSINT data streams including ACLED, satellite imagery, government sources, and news using Chain-of-Debate framework.
ML models predicting historical inflation patterns and Bank of England interest rate changes using advanced time series analysis.
Python API integration for extracting and analyzing financial data with automated image processing.
I write about AI governance, tech policy, climate finance, and data science, and the future in general! My work explores how technical systems intersect with regulatory frameworks and policy decisions.
