Hello! I'm Angel!
With a diverse background and a passion for leveraging data-driven insights to drive business growth, I am dedicated to innovating data-driven strategies that empower businesses to thrive in today's ever-evolving landscape. With an educational foundation from CMU, I bring cutting-edge knowledge and expertise to every project. Currently, I am a Data Scientist at IBM in New York.
​
Prior to CMU, I've worked at BCG and Sociovestix Labs (a financial data science startup), where I acquired skills in large-scale statistical data analysis, software development, and structured problem-solving, and gained invaluable experience in tackling complex data challenges across a wide range of industries.
​
In my free time, I enjoy playing sports and going on outdoor adventures. I've been enjoying bouldering and snowboarding! Additionally, I am passionate about learning foreign languages and I speak Mandarin, English, Japanese, and German. Aside from all of that, I enjoy traveling and exploring street food when I travel and visit new places!
