Available to hire
I’m Erik Herz, a Master’s-educated researcher. I bridge the gap between complex information and actionable strategy. I specialize in the entire data lifecycle, from data collection and processing to building custom Python scripts to aggregate niche datasets to translating raw numbers into clear business intelligence. Whether I am researching, streamlining, or consulting on your operations, my focus is on technical precision and measurable impact. I have successfully used my programming and analytical background to help clients reduce manual processing time and uncover hidden insights through rigorous, data-driven research.
