In the past 15 years, I have done one thing professionally: helping my clients and collaborators gain insights into their data. What excites me most is when I see my work accepted by a high-profile journal for publication, which helps improve patients' quality of life or even save lives.

I'm most passionate about solving hard problems computationally using machine learning algorithms such as regression, clustering, classification and deep learning and distributed computing such as HPC, Hadoop and Spark in R and Python. My favorite cloud platform is the Microsoft Azure ML Studio.
