Bridging the Gap Between Economic Theory, Data Science, and Industry Innovation.

Tech Economist | Assistant Teaching Professor | Founder of Husky Technology Inc.

Welcome! I am an Assistant Teaching Professor of Economics at Northeastern University and the founder of Husky Technology Inc. My work navigates the pivotal methodological convergence of traditional econometrics and high-dimensional machine learning. Whether I am evaluating the antitrust implications of algorithmic pricing, training the next generation of economists to architect data pipelines, or engineering hardware solutions for the restaurant and higher education sectors, my goal is to produce rigorous, scalable, and economically literate solutions.
