      <h1 id="hi">Hi!</h1>

<p>I am a <a href="#data-science">data scientist</a>, <a href="#social-science">social scientist</a>, <a href="#statistics">statistician</a>, and <a href="#software">software developer</a>. I mostly specialize in methods for solving causal inference and business decision problems, and I am particularly interested in building tools for practitioners working on real-world problems. I’m a generalist, I like to hang out with people from many fields and borrow as many ideas as possible. I have collaborated with computer scientists, economists, political scientists, statisticians, machine learning researchers, and business school scholars. It’s fun for me to jump around a bit, continue learning new things, and make connections between fields.</p>
