List My Nest is a cutting-edge real estate platform that transforms the traditional home listing process by empowering homeowners with actionable insights. I founded List My Nest to revolutionize real estate transactions, creating a marketplace where realtors compete for listings in high-demand areas. At the platform's core is a proprietary algorithm developed from five years of market data. It analyzes factors such as market hotness, average days on the market, and listing prices to give homeowners a clear, data-driven picture of their property's value.

The platform simplifies the home listing process, allowing homeowners to receive bids from realtors eager to represent high-value listings. This competitive bidding gives homeowners a better solution and creates a unique experience in which realtors pitch their services, ensuring that homeowners get the best possible representation. List My Nest also integrates an escrow system, ensuring security and transparency until a listing agreement is finalized. By streamlining and innovating the real estate process, List My Nest provides homeowners with tangible value and a personalized real estate experience.

One of the most impactful projects I led at CarGurus was a groundbreaking analysis of COVID-19's effect on the automotive market. As the director of industry and economic analysis, I spearheaded a detailed study that analyzed consumer behavior, economic trends, and the broader industry response to the pandemic. The findings from this research helped CarGurus adapt its strategy during a period of global uncertainty and positioned the company as a thought leader in the automotive space.

Our analysis provided crucial insights into shifts in consumer confidence, market demand fluctuations, and the long-term impacts of the pandemic on supply chains and vehicle pricing. This work resulted in a 200% increase in earned media coverage across the US, Canada, the UK, and several European markets. I was honored with the We Move Fast award for my efforts, which recognized the project's significant influence on CarGurus' business strategy during a critical time.

Career in Genetics is an information-driven website I developed to support students and aspiring professionals in genetic counseling. The platform provides comprehensive resources about genetic counseling programs, career paths, and the skills necessary to succeed in the field. Leveraging Python and SQL, I built an automated content creation tool using the Beautiful Soup package to gather and generate detailed articles and summaries on genetic counseling programs nationwide. The goal was to create a user-friendly platform that offered reliable and up-to-date information, helping students make informed decisions about their education and careers in genetics.
