Focus

I use causal inference to help answer intervention questions: what will happen if an organization changes a price, launches a feature, sends a retention offer, targets a policy, reallocates spend, or changes an operational process?

Strengths

  • DAGs, assumptions, and adjustment strategies.
  • A/B testing and experiment readouts.
  • Difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables, and synthetic control.
  • Matching, weighting, doubly robust estimation, and heterogeneous treatment effects.
  • Sensitivity analysis and decision-focused communication.

Applied Domains

  • Pricing and promotion incrementality.
  • Customer retention and targeting policy.
  • Product experimentation.
  • Marketing measurement.
  • Health, education, and public policy analytics.
