My Story

Over 10+ years as a quantitative social scientist, I learned the hard way that “good data” is rare. We grew up in the age of big data—but most of it is unstructured, scattered, and noisy. The internet has a “problem of plenty.” I built QuantSearch to cut through that noise and deliver clear, authoritative, structured data with receipts—so teams can trust, reproduce, and reuse what they find.

I’ve earned my stripes across top research environments—Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and now Stanford—designing studies, building datasets, and mentoring teams on evidence you can defend. I’ve published in peer-reviewed venues and am the author or co-author of 10 scientific studies (published and in progress). I’ve also taught over 200 students at top universities how to turn questions into research designs, collect high-quality data, and analyze it quantitatively—training that directly shapes how QuantSearch delivers structured, audit-ready answers.

Highlights

  • Research roles at Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and Stanford
