Codex for Product Managers and Leaders in 30 minutes

I'm an Analytics Engineer IV at Superhuman, author of The Tableau Workshop, Institute of Analytics Fellow, and international conference speaker on a mission to make the path from analyst to builder clearer, more honest, and more accessible.

I founded Otter Advisory, where I help exceptional immigrants navigate the EB-1A and O-1A talent visa process, because I believe the American dream shouldn't require guesswork it should require a strategy.

From breaking down the modern data stack to demystifying talent visas to sharing what 9+ years across Snowflake, Dropbox, Notion, and Superhuman actually taught me, I create content for the people who are building careers without a roadmap. If you grew up far from the tech world and fought your way in anyway, you're exactly who I'm here for.
