My background includes pharmacy benefits analytics at Xevant and enterprise healthcare data work at Change Healthcare — which means I understand operations at a level most freelancers don’t. I’m also currently engaged as a Business Analyst on a large-scale enterprise consulting project (details under NDA), leading discovery, risk and bottleneck analysis, process improvement, and user story development — so this isn’t just past experience, it’s live, current work. I help businesses fix both sides of the problem: building clean data systems and the process documentation to make them actually stick. What I help with: — SOPs and workflow documentation — Process mapping and bottleneck analysis (Lucidchart, workflow diagrams) — Excel & Access dashboards, trackers, and databases — SWOT analysis and operational recommendations — Cross-functional coordination and client-facing reporting Whether you need a quick-turnaround dashboard or a full workflow overhaul, I work fast, communicate clearly, and deliver things that get used. I’m based in Maine and work comfortably across US time zones. Clients describe me as a “clear communicator, committed to quality, and reliable” — and that’s exactly how I work on every project. If that’s what you need — let’s talk.

I work as a Business Analyst specializing in market research, financial analysis, and strategic intelligence for organizations navigating complex markets. My focus is turning fragmented data, technical detail, and ambiguous market signals into clear, defensible insights that executives, investors, and product teams can use to make decisions. Clients typically request services when they need analysis that goes beyond surface-level research—work that can support strategy development, investment evaluation, product positioning, or policy analysis. My work spans market sizing, competitive intelligence, financial modeling, and regulatory or policy research across sectors including technology, real estate, fintech, healthcare, energy, and infrastructure. I combine traditional analytical methods with modern AI-assisted workflows to accelerate data collection, synthesis, and insight generation while maintaining rigorous verification and analytical discipline. This allows me to process large information sets quickly, structure complex research problems, and deliver clear reports, dashboards, and executive-ready analyses that help organizations move from uncertainty to informed action. Alongside client work, I am the Founder of H Heuristics, an independent research and advisory firm producing in-depth analysis on technology markets, infrastructure, capital markets, and global economic trends. Through both client engagements and institutional research publishing, I have developed a disciplined approach to evaluating markets, assessing competitive dynamics, and communicating complex findings to decision-makers. I take on a selective number of projects where analytical depth, clear thinking, and commercially grounded insight matter most.

As a Senior Lead Engineer with 15 years of experience in Automation, Performance QA, and enterprise software quality, I specialize in testing AI-powered, SaaS, web, mobile, and financial platforms for reliability, accuracy, scalability, and user experience. I have built and led high-performing QA teams, designed scalable automation frameworks using Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, and API testing tools, and implemented shift-left QA strategies that reduced defect leakage to under 5%. My expertise now extends into AI product quality, including AI chatbot testing, prompt validation, AI output evaluation, hallucination checks, transcription workflow testing, generated-content validation, API testing, regression testing, and end-to-end validation of AI-enabled user flows. I focus on testing not only whether the software works, but whether the AI behavior is accurate, consistent, explainable, and useful for real users. I bring strong experience in functional, API, integration, performance, and regression testing, along with CI/CD pipeline integration and structured defect reporting. If your AI product needs a QA professional who can combine traditional software testing discipline with AI-focused validation, I can help improve release confidence, reduce risk, and deliver a more reliable user experience. Let’s discuss how I can help elevate the quality of your AI-powered product.
