EXPERIENCE

From official statistics to analytical systems

A selective record of roles and assignments across official statistics, economic analysis, data quality, applied research and analytical product development.

The common thread is implementation: turning statistical and economic methods into workflows, evidence and systems that can be used in practice.

PRACTICE SNAPSHOT

OFFICIAL STATISTICS

Economic indicators, national accounts, seasonal adjustment and quality control

SURVEYS & DATA QUALITY

Field operations, survey databases, validation workflows and data cleaning

ECONOMETRICS & RESEARCH

Time series, financial econometrics, applied economic analysis and reproducible methods

ANALYTICAL PRODUCTS

R/Python pipelines, Shiny and web systems, decision tools and product delivery
