ABOUT ME

View resumé

I'm Stephen, an analytics-driven generalist with 5 years of early & growth-stage startup experience. I'm naturally motivated by finding ways to improve business outcomes, but above all I simply like learning & applying new skills. I recently obtained a Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate to complement my Minor in Statistics and extensive career experience with SQL. I'm seeking a role where I can leverage my quantitative skills alongside my operational expertise. My core competencies include:

• Data Analysis: Python, R, SQL, Excel. Hypothesis testing, linear & logistic regression, tree-based machine learning models, k-means clustering
• Data Visualization: Matplotlib, Seaborn, ggplot2, plotly, shiny, Tableau, Excel, Illustrator
• Operations: Managing partnerships, marketing operations, logistics, coordinating work across teams

I have a proactive approach to problem-solving, finding the balance between straightforward and optimal solutions. I highly value collaboration, empathy, and a data-driven approach to decision-making.
