I am an economist working in tech. I use causal inference, economic theory, and AI methods to make sense of ambiguous real-world problems, whether at Netflix, where I work as a Data Scientist in promotional media, or in my policy research on sustainability.

Top of Mind

  • Co-organizing the 3rd NABE TEC Meetup Europe: economists working in tech, gathering in Amsterdam this May.
  • Working on a structural causal framework for promotional media decisions at Netflix.
  • Thinking about behavioral LLMs to simulate climate adaptation policy in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Writing on consumption-linked debt and electricity access in Kenya.
