Hi! I am Michael, a Data Science Master candidate at Duke University. I was born in Chengdu, China, but my family moved to Toronto, Canada when I was 14. I had a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, and I had previously spent over a year working in the healthcare space. It was at that time I learned the power of big data and have decided to become a Data Scientist. You can read more about my journey to Data science in my Medium blog post.
I am passionate about exploring the interaction between data and technology, utilizing data-driven techniques to uncover and understand patterns, and ultimately translating them into organic insights that could enhance decision-making processes! Furthermore, I am interested in experiences that are collaborative, fast-paced, and cultivating. Because of my prior background in healthcare, I am excited about scalable data solutions that are also socially meaningful.
I love bouldering and working out, I find them very effective at relieving my stress and improving my focus. I also enjoy cooking and I am a very big foodie. Having lived in a culturally diverse city like Toronto, I had the fortune to try some fo the most authentic and exotic cuisines.
