About the Author

Welcome

Welcome to my personal site! My name is Chris, and I am a Director of Business Insights with professional passions for revenue analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and finance. Some of my personal passions span running, dancing, language learning, traveling, and meeting new people.

Interests

My interest in data analytics and data science began during my time abroad when I was managing a business and quickly realized how inefficient Excel was for automating reporting tasks and insights extraction with continuously updating data. At this point, I decided to level up my skillset and went back to school to start my Master's in Computational Data Analytics while working at LinkedIn in a finance capacity helping lead our business intelligence within our Talent Solutions line of business. I've been working in data analytics ever since.

Current Focus

I am leading projects at LevelUp Finance building data pipelines mainly for CFO organizations and extracting insights to help them grow their businesses. Our work expands across all go-to-market teams (sales, marketing, revenue operations), and all business model types, but we specialize in SaaS.

In my free time, I enjoy reading about new developments in AI, ML, and tools that can make my job easier (or automated out of existence). I am focusing on OLTP and OLAP system relational database pipeline builds, SQL/Python automations, and leveraging Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google Gemini APIs where applicable.
