Sideways
into the data.

Growth marketer who kept wandering into the data, then into the code, and never quite wandered back.

I work where marketing, data and automation overlap. The job usually starts as a question from a commercial or editorial team, turns into an analysis, and ends as something they can open themselves — a dashboard, a planner, a pipeline, occasionally an agent.

I came to it sideways. A degree in communication, a thesis on how cryptocurrency talks about itself, a freelance stretch writing scrapers and a text-analysis tool when calling an LLM from Python still felt exotic. Then analytics for other people’s products, and now growth and data for two national titles.

What I want next is skin in the game: direct ownership of the work and of whether it worked.
