What I Build

01

Automated Reporting

MIS, PDP, and other compliance reports — fully automated pipelines you can run again and again.

02

Automated Error Checking

Programmed validation checks catch and correct errors before submission, cutting your analysts' error resolution time by 90%.

03

Self-Updating Dashboards

Scripts run on schedule, extracting fresh data, transforming it, and loading it into your dashboards for a full update before sunrise.

04

Real-Time FTES Tracking

Most districts calculate FTES monthly at best. Automate it daily or in real-time to catch enrollment shifts before they impact your funding.

What Automation Can Do

Save $57K Per Year

  • A Daily Enrollments Dashboard tracking registration stats used to take 3 hrs of tedious Excel work to update
  • It cost the district $237 per update and 15 hrs per week of IR Director's time
  • Now Daily Enrollments Dashboard refreshes at 5AM daily without intervention, saving 720 hrs of work and $57K annually

Unlock $100K in Grant Money

  • Two-college district was about to miss deadline for initial PDP submission, which meant losing eligibility for $100K in grants
  • Data was spread across many different files, and would have taken analysts weeks to stitch together using Stata, Excel formulas, and crosswalks
  • In 2 weeks, I built a custom PDP automation, generating all 12 submission files for 6 years of data, helping qualify the district for the $100K grant
  • Future submissions will take 3 minutes.

About Me

I'm an institutional research data engineer specializing in automation for higher education.

I kept seeing the same problems: talented IR teams trapped in manual workflows, leadership making decisions without reliable data, and compliance deadlines creating unnecessary risk and stress.

I bring deep knowledge of higher-ed data requirements, the technical skill to build lasting solutions, and the ability to translate between IT and institutional leadership.

I hold an MS in Business Analytics from Carnegie Mellon University, where I trained in machine learning, neural network architecture, and linear programming.

Based in Southern California. Available to work with institutions nationwide.
