As a Data Scientist with a M.S. degree in Statistical Science from Duke University, I am very passionate about data science and artificial intelligence. I like reading and discussing about how data science and technologies are changing our world. I also enjoy working on data science projects to hone my skills of R and python (please check “projects” for more details).

In addition to my full-time job as a Data Scientist, I am a free-lance writer who enjoys sharing my DS experiences by telling data stories, providing tips and insights with best practices. I am an official author of Towards Data Science. My blogs are usually published here first on my web, but you could also read them from my Medium page, please remember to “clap” for my stories if you enjoy them!

With my academic background in architectural engineering, I’d love to keep my connections to the energy industry and building industry. I work as a professional Data Science Consultant for clients in the industries (for example, Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute), and I also provide free DS consulting sessions to people who are making efforts for a better energy future (please check “Consulting Services” for details).

I am an active person who enjoys working out and outdoor activities such as hiking and paddle boarding. I have visited more than 20 national parks and there are more on my list. When I have free time, I enjoy working out in the gym, watching comedy movies and reading novels. I also love musical shows and museums.

I have a 6-year old chihuahua named Lilly, who is a fan of hiking with me in the woods. I have lived in 7 states (PA, WA, NY, VA, OR, NC, GA) in the U.S. As a passionate traveler, I have driven across the country from east coast to west coast twice. I plan to visit all the states and so far have been to over 30 states.
