Summary
A computational Econometrician working in the field of quantitative marketing, trying to bring to-
gether the two worlds of marketing science and high performance computation. Having over 10 years’
experiences in building back-end enterprise applications in C++, and stumbled onto quantitative mar-
keting while working on my Ph.D. in Bayesian Econometrics. With extensive experiences and training
in computer science, economics, and statistics, I am well-positioned to contribute in the exciting areas
of statistical/machine learning, predicative analytics, and econometric modeling.
