Who I Am
I'm a working statistician and data engineer with graduate training in neuroscience, research methods, and a professional background in occupational safety — who builds custom data systems for businesses.
That combination — understanding what the data actually means and being able to build the software to capture, process, and present it — is rare. It's the foundation of everything Sequential does.
I started Sequential because I saw the same problem everywhere: companies drowning in spreadsheets, paper forms, and disconnected tools, with no one who could both understand their data problems and build the actual systems to solve them. Not a slide deck about solving them — the actual working systems.
My flagship project, the Custom Sales App, is proof. I took a 12-office industrial equipment company from paper forms and manual data entry to a full production application — forms, calculations, approval workflows, executive dashboards — built and delivered by one person.
Background
- • Statistician by training and practice — neuroscience research, brain imaging data, statistical modeling
- • Professional background in occupational safety — injury rate estimation, employee perception surveys, benchmarking databases across hundreds of organizations
- • Built data pipelines processing submissions from hundreds of facilities across multiple global regions
- • Fluent in the full stack: data collection → database design → application development → dashboards → delivery
