- Deceit: Avoids bad hair days through snapbacks
- Public Indecency: Wears basketball shoes but is terrible at basketball

What I love to do

Learn

I live to learn. I believe that there is a learning experience in every failure. I strive to learn from my personal losses & seek out for advice to gain a broader understanding of the world.

Design

I love to design and sketch new products - I want to develop products that perform complex functions with simple commands. I believe clean user interface is the key to a sustainable product.

Prototype

I am a huge fan of creating different prototypes of new ideas. I believe that there lies a certain beauty of producing new iterations of products that exceeds the former ones.

Volunteer

I volunteer at my high school during summer to help grow its Speech and Debate Program - I absolutely love working with kids who want to voice their opinions about the world!

Experience

I've worked at rapidly growing startups as well as established corporations. I've also led multiple teams on different consulting projects. These experiences give a well-rounded perspective on how to understand and tackle difficult problems using data-driven techniques.

Airbnb Data Analysis
Data Analysis

Written in Python (packages: numpy, pandas, scikit-learn, mpl_toolkits, matplotlib), this project is meant to give deeper understanding of the airbnb listing data, and introduce how powerful and convenient scikit-learn package's algorithm functions are.
