My team support data scientists and everyone at Stripe to practice data science. We believe in extending data scientists' skillset and capability more than making it easy to repeat the same-old-work.

In addition to abstracting complexity, we spend a lot of time and effort to smooth out learning curve and build the right foundation so data scientists feel confident using advanced languages and frameworks, such as building dashboards in React or preparing analytical data in Spark and make "impossible" things possible.

Founding member of Advanced Data Analytics team within BlackRock's Financial Modeling Group. Primarily focus on large-scale data processing, modeling, and visualization using Apache Spark and D3.js.

• Architected data warehousing and modeling pipeline for mortgage borrower level dataset (TB+ size) covering data onboarding, feature extraction, aggregation and modeling using Scala, Protobuf, Spark, and Parquet. Contributed bug fixes identified from the pipeline back to the Spark project.

• Iterated on mortgage prepayment machine learning models using R and Spark MLLib. Models included k-Means, GLM, k-NN, Random Forest etc.

• Authored novel data visualization for mortgage data (parallel coordinates, scatter plot matrix etc.), and model performance using R, D3.js, and Tableau.

• Collaborated on high dimensional big data visualizer: binned aggregation using Spark and HBase; web app interface using Angular.js and D3.js.

• Designed and developed a SparkR DSL package which dynamically bootstraps itself from Scala reflection using metaprogramming.

• Developed R packages integrating enterprise environment and Hadoop platform with R.

• Evangelized use of R Markdown and R Shiny for reproducible and interactive data science work.

• Worked on Pig based ETL, analytics pipeline and Pig UDFs in Java/Scala.

• Experienced in using Scala Macros to eliminate boilerplate code while maintaining static type safety and native performance.

Recruited to develop data visualization and reporting tools for financial modelling analytics. Worked on unifying data retrieval process and providing interactive reporting application.
