About

I build systems that turn complexity into clarity. As a Data & Systems Analyst at Mosaic Healthcare, I design data infrastructure, reporting pipelines, and operational analytics that support real-world care coordination. My academic foundation in Applied Cognition & Neuroscience from UT Dallas—with a specialization in computational modeling—informs how I approach complex systems.

Beyond my primary role, I serve as a Research Scientist at Howard University studying Muslim youth mental health, religiosity, and identity across ~700 college students. I conducted K-means cluster analysis identifying four behavioral profiles, presented findings at the American Muslim Mental Health Conference (AMMHC 2026), and am co-authoring a peer-reviewed publication. I also hold two patents in intelligent systems and consult independently for nonprofits and small businesses on data systems.

I believe the same rigor behind good data work—structure, precision, clarity—should be behind everything we build.
