About me

Aaloha! Welcome to my personal space!

I am a passionate data scientist who loves solving real world problems with statistical modelings and cutting edge machine learning techniques.

I am a programmer with Python, PySpark, R, SQL, C#, and MATLAB. Also the founder and maintainer of “SCR” R package.

I used to play Piano and Guzheng, but neither instruments is available in my current apartment. Instead I started to play Ukulele from 2021 and amuse myself and focus on performing.

During weekend, sometimes I hike to visit the top of the mountain; sometimes I cook a table of fancy meals though some do not have to be delicious; sometimes I just sleep till noon and then play video games and order pizza delivery to spend the rest of my day.
