Selected work
The business question
comes first.
My work sits where markets and technology meet. At Musket, I lead an analytics team building the models and systems behind trading decisions.
Market intelligence
A clearer view of global flows
Vessel tracking and flow analysis that help trading teams understand how physical markets are moving.
Data & engineering
Tools people can use
Data pipelines and web applications that bring research into everyday decisions, including the tools behind d’ART.
My Musket journey
A new market.
A growing role.
I joined with a background in software engineering and quantitative research. My role has grown to include leading the team and setting analytics priorities.
Joined Musket
Started as a Quant Analyst, applying my engineering and research experience to commodity trading.
Stepped into analytics leadership
Became Manager of Analytics, with a broader focus on the team, our priorities, and the tools we deliver.
Made Houston home
Moved from the Boston area to work alongside the Houston team. Two young boys and our dog came along for the drive.

Two boys.
One dog.
Plenty of adventure.
I’m a dad to Andrey and Eddie, and we have a family dog. Outside of work, life is a little less predictable and a lot of fun.

A little more about me Boston to Houston.
The whole crew.
When I moved in August 2025, I drove from Boston to Houston with both boys and our dog. Quite a different kind of logistics project.
