I use statistics, data science, and a bit of AI to understand how institutions actually behave — from democratic backsliding in Hungary to the World Bank's household surveys. Currently an LSMS Survey Innovation Fellow at the World Bank and an M.P.P. candidate at Yale's Jackson School.
Research and analyst roles across development, environment, and governance — the common thread is turning messy real-world data into something a decision-maker can act on.
Founded a mentoring company that pairs students applying to top US universities with recent admits for weekly 1:1 guidance — application strategy, essays, activity lists, and school selection. Built from my own experience getting into Yale from Hungary without a college counselor.

Built an interim U.S. Senate position-tracker tool to support federal-oversight and policy research; ran quantitative field research on Hungary's electoral incentives and EU integration.
Contributed to the 2026 Environmental Performance Index — a report used by the UN and governments worldwide — using R, Python, and SQL to analyze climate and trade data informing sustainability and economic policy.
Developed and validated an R-based financial risk model that recovered over $100,000 and improved oversight of an $8.9B fund; briefed senior officials, who adopted it long-term; built a Power BI dashboard for real-time performance tracking.
A company I founded, plus small single-page apps I built to run my own life. Everything here is real and clickable.
1:1 mentoring for students applying to elite US universities, from anywhere. I pair applicants with recent admits from top-15 schools for weekly guidance on strategy, essays, and school lists — the counseling I wish I'd had applying from Hungary.
The three below are public demos: seeded with sample data and running entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.
A whole year at a glance. Drop events onto a twelve-month grid, tag them by category, and track goals across the calendar — a single-page app with no page reloads.
Open demo →Log transactions, sort them into categories, and watch the summary tiles recompute live. A compact take on the spreadsheet I used to keep by hand.
Open demo →An interactive map of people and how they connect — nodes for contacts, links for relationships, searchable and filterable. Useful when your network outgrows your memory.
Open demo →M.S. in Computer Science, specialization in Artificial Intelligence.
M.P.P. in Global Affairs (accelerated joint-degree track).
B.A. in Global Affairs and Statistics & Data Science. Elected Senator on the Yale College Council (academic and financial policy for 6,600+ students) and a member of the Yale Executive Committee.
