Short Bio

Hello, I'm Ryan and I'm based in New York City. I graduated from UCLA with Honors where I studied Economics and Mathematics. I also assisted on research projects that studied political protests and economic development, and wrote a thesis on the effects of the American colonial education system in the Philippines. 

This led me to research the economics of education at Columbia with a professor whose previous work gained media attention and was cited by prominent figures. With him, I analyzed the impact of teachers and pension reforms using large administrative datasets and contributed to a widely used statistical visualization tool which was published in a leading academic journal. 

Currently, I aim to apply cutting-edge techniques to uncover new data covering public issues, especially on the impact of technology. Feel free to check out my projects and reach out!
