A real estate researcher
fascinated by data.
I’m a real estate researcher who’s endlessly fascinated by data - not just for what it tells us about prices or markets, but for the stories it reveals about people and cities.
My work sits at the intersection of numbers and narratives. I spend most of my time exploring housing trends, visualising insights, and translating complex datasets into something people can understand at a glance.
To me, data isn’t cold or distant — it’s a way of seeing how homes are built, how communities grow, and how decisions shape the places we live.
This space is where I share my observations, analyses, and experiments — one chart, one story, and one dataset at a time.
