About

As a Machine Learning Engineer at Optum, I work in a team of Data Scientists and ML Engineers that create the automation and decision support platform for senior citizens' healthcare. I develop data processing pipelines, build AI/ML powered recommendation services, and design and deploy chatbots to answer patients' questions related to health insurance management. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Master's degree in Data Science in 2021, where I gained a strong background in Machine Learning, Software and Web Systems, NLP and Data Science. By working on major projects such as Penn Search Engine, Penn Cloud, Forecasting Wildfire Risk, and Intelligent Stock Trading Advisor, I have built a strong versatile background across these fields and I believe this to be one of my biggest strength. My passion and skillset lie at the intersection of Machine Learning, NLP, and Data Science, and I have a fascination of how these technologies can be used to uncover hidden insights, patterns, and solve problems for the welfare of society. I am always eager to learn new skills, explore new domains, and collaborate with other professionals to deliver innovative solutions.
