I'm Buddhika Patalee - a data analytics consultant with a Ph.D. in Economics and an M.S. in Analytics from Georgia Tech. I help organizations answer questions dashboards can't: what's actually driving your results, and what happens if you change it.
My work draws on advanced statistical and econometric methods, causal inference, predictive modeling, and policy evaluation applied to real business and research questions, from healthcare analytics to consumer behavior.
This site includes a full portfolio of my applied research and technical work - explore it below, or see how I can help with a specific question on the Work With Me page.
AI & Machine Learning Applications
My technical toolkit spans machine learning, econometrics, and applied statistics including neural networks, causal inference methods, feature engineering, and model evaluation, using Python (scikit-learn, pandas), R, SQL, and STATA. See the full technical breakdown on my Research Portfolio.
