Data Analyst / Product Analyst

Apex, NC

About

I'm a recent Data Science graduate from UNC Charlotte (B.S., Bioinformatics minor, 3.61 GPA), looking for Data Analyst / Product Analyst roles around RDU/Apex and Charlotte, NC. I'm especially drawn to healthcare and life-sciences problems, where the questions in the data actually affect people.

Most recently I spent a year as a Data Engineer intern on MetLife's Cybersecurity / Attack Surface Management team, where I worked on pipelines that turned raw security data into something analysts could actually act on. Outside of that, I build side projects that mix applied ML with real datasets — from a RAG-based research assistant to gene expression analysis on public genomics data.
