👋 About

Hello! I'm Winston, a recent political science and data science graduate from UCLA. In my current role, I apply statistical and computational methods to support matters involving competition and class action litigation.

I am passionate about building lasting systems and platforms using data-driven principles to enrich people's lives and address their underlying needs. Whether in data science, campaign management, or grassroots organizing, I've learned the value of meeting people where they are, while looking for ways to improve how things are done.

I believe in the power of attention to shape narratives, connect ideas, and build consensus around causes. We shouldn't accept the way things are just because that's the way we have always done them. What is the point of building political and organizational capital if we are not willing to spend it?

Throughout my experiences, I have developed my ability to effectively communicate insights with others, solve challenges that span multiple spheres of influence and understanding, and navigate technical, financial, and regulatory constraints with a deep-rooted commitment to responsibility, integrity, and boldness.

Please feel free to reach out.
