It's never really about the data.

What actually gets me isn't the data itself. It's human behavior. I've always liked watching why people do what they do: the cues that flip someone from a yes to a no, the patterns behind a decision they probably didn't even notice they were making. Psychology's part of that too. It always felt like the same question, just asked from a different perspective. Data's just where I get to chase it properly, with real evidence instead of a guess.

I watch people outside of work too. I'll catch myself noticing how someone lives, the habits they've built without thinking about it, the small choices that add up into something bigger, and I don't really turn it off. Why does someone stop using something they used to like? Why do they come back after leaving? Why does one nudge work when an almost identical one doesn't? I think every one of those questions has a person behind it, doing something for a reason, and figuring out that reason is the part I enjoy the most. A few places this has shown up. A funnel of 1.76 million sessions where the real drop happened earlier than anyone expected, not at checkout. A churn model across 500 SaaS accounts where a rule-based risk score separated accounts churning at about 17% a month from those at 7%. A revenue anomaly system built on 18 months of revenue data that had to explain itself, not just raise a flag.
