About Me
Turning Data into
Business Impact
I am a Full Stack AI, Data Analytics, and Engineering Expert with extensive experience leading
high-impact BI units and data-driven operations. Most recently at Unity Technologies, I managed
specialized teams to bridge complex technical execution with business strategy, focusing on building proactive
AI-driven defense systems and high-scale revenue forecasting models.
My work has directly contributed to saving and recovering $2.6M in annual fraud losses,
maintaining a $100M+ quarterly revenue forecast with less than 2% error, and
driving a 1.5% incremental lift in total Ads revenue through strategic product integration.
