ABOUT ME

Functional programming, data science, and distributed systems

My mother was award winning teacher, and her father before her a librarian. I've been teaching and tutoring math, science and programming since I was high school, throughout college. As a consultant, I currently develop and teach data science curriculum tailored to make bioinformaticians out of biologists. Teaching is in my blood, my passion, part of who I am and how I learn things.

But I'm not just a teacher. I'm a doer. As a researcher, I wrote several papers which pushed forward the field of virology and our understanding of how viruses like HIV cross the species barrier into humans, and developed new tools for analyzing HIV sequence data. As a startup founder I designed and built machine learning algorithms powering a tool which has massively changed the political climate of Taiwan, and looks to do the same in other countries around the world. As a tech consultant, I've developed tools at the forefront of modern web architecture. I am a doer, and I strive for excellence in everything I do.

I look forward to helping you solve problems.
