About

I'm an economist at Ramp. I live in New York. My writing and analysis of AI, business spend, and the economy has been covered in the New York Times [1][2], NPR's Planet Money [1][2], Fortune Magazine [1], Financial Times [1], The Atlantic [1], Inc [1], Vox [1], and more.

Previously, I was the Economic Research Lead at Square, where I developed the Square Payroll Index, one of the key public datasets used to track restaurant worker wages, tips, and overtime in the United States. Before that, I was an economic consultant at Cornerstone Research.
