About Me.
I’m a data scientist and researcher at the RWI Leibniz Institute for Economic Research, where I dive deep into housing markets, urban systems, and environmental economics. I hold a PhD in Economics and bring academic rigor to real-world data problems.
But I’m not just about theory — I’m passionate about building things with data. Whether it’s wrangling complex datasets, modeling policy impact, or visualizing results, I love turning information into insights.
My current toolkit includes R, Python, and SQL, and I’m expanding into data pipelines, and scalable systems. You’ll find some of my side projects and thoughts on my GitHub, Medium, and blog.
I’ve shared my work at international conferences — maybe you’ve seen me there. If not, let’s connect! 🚀
What I do.
Applied Data Science
Causal Inference & Econometrics
Data Engineering
Geospatial Analysis
Open Data & Public Impact
Research & Communication
Designing and deploying statistical and machine learning models to solve real-world problems.
Deriving insights from complex observational data using advanced techniques like Difference-in-Differences and quasi-experimental designs.
Building reproducible data workflows and scalable pipelines in Python and R, often using targets, pandas, and SQL.
Creating high-resolution spatial models and visualizations — think housing markets, air pollution, and noisy cities across Europe.
Publishing open-source data products and collaborating with public institutions to make insights transparent and actionable.
Presenting findings at international conferences and publishing in peer-reviewed journals, making complex ideas understandable and useful.
