Development economist working across field experiments, field data systems, and governance frameworks in AI-assisted research.
Manila, Philippines / Lilongwe, Malawi
I design rigorous research, lead complex field operations, and build reproducibility tools for the next generation of development economics. My work focuses on household welfare, agricultural food prices, labor markets, and the design of digital research systems that make research and rigorous methodology more accessible, reliable and useful.
Featured research tool
Design trials, estimate power and sample size, and generate reproducible assignments with an auditable project record.
