Not just a marketer.
Not just a data scientist.

It started with a question most marketers never ask: why does this campaign actually work? Not just "it drove clicks" but what in the data explains it, and how do we replicate it at scale?

That question took me across three continents, running campaigns in Malaysia, Kenya, and Toronto, and through a Master's at Queen's University Smith School of Business. Along the way I stopped being a marketer who used data, and became a data analyst who understood marketing deeply.

At AEC Daily I proved it: redesigning email campaigns that lifted CTR by +600%, building Power Automate pipelines that tracked every MQL in real time, and leading a full website revamp, all from the same desk.

Next up: formalizing that instinct. Georgia Tech's MSc in Analytics (starting August 2026) adds the machine learning and statistical depth to what I already do in practice. The goal was never to choose between marketing and data science. It was to become the person who doesn't have to.

Zubedi, A.T.A., Nezakati, H., & Abdi, L.  ·  Journal of Marketing Management and Consumer Behavior, Vol. 2, No. 5  ·  2020

Findings surfaced weak transparency in cause-related marketing, competitive advantage concerns, and the disproportionate burden placed on SMEs as key barriers to credible sustainability communication.

Featured Case Study AEC Daily · Toronto · 2024 – Present

6×'ing Email CTR: From 100 to 700 Clicks per Blast

Problem

B2B email campaigns averaged 100 clicks per blast. The team had accepted this as baseline. Templates were years old, not mobile-optimised, and reporting was entirely manual with no real-time visibility into lead quality.

Approach

GA4 analysis revealed the majority of opens were on mobile but templates weren't responsive. Rebuilt HTML templates from scratch, A/B tested subject line formats, segmented by vertical, and built a Power Automate pipeline for real-time MQL tracking in Microsoft 365.

Impact

+600% CTR (100 to 700 clicks per blast). +40% lead generation. −30% data validation time through automation. Multi-channel attribution dashboard deployed tracking CTR, conversion rate, and MQL ratio end-to-end.

Data Science

Waze User Churn Model

Built a predictive churn model analyzing user behaviour patterns to reduce attrition and improve retention strategy.

PythonMachine LearningData Analysis

Key finding: Session frequency, not drive distance, is the strongest predictor of churn. Random Forest outperformed Logistic Regression as the champion model.

Analytics

Cyclistic Case Study

Google Data Analytics capstone, analyzing bike-share usage patterns to convert casual riders into annual members.

SQLRTableau

Key finding: Casual riders take trips twice as long as members on average but ride far less often. That leisure-vs-commute split defines the entire conversion gap.

Bellabeat Case Study

Analyzed smart device fitness data to guide Bellabeat's marketing strategy with data-driven consumer insights.

Key finding: Activity peaks on weekends but mid-week sedentary windows are the highest-leverage touchpoint. The marketing calendar was misaligned with actual user behaviour.

Beyond the Data

When I'm not crunching numbers or building dashboards, I'm out in the wild with a camera, chasing the shot.

Wildlife photography and data work share the same foundation: patience, precision, and knowing exactly where to look. Both teach you that the most important signal is rarely the loudest one.
