Hi! I'm Kelman, I'm a Data professional with 5+ years of experience, working in a range of companies & industries. Currently at BizOps @ Rippling, was previously at Uber, Postmates (food delivery), Neuron Mobility (electric scooters) & Urban Planning (Singapore Government). I'd love to mentor your learning journey, helping you cover the key concepts & skills needed to be successful in your job search and career in the field of data & analytics.

I minimize the numbers of mentees I have at a single time, to focus my energy and time. I only accept mentees where I believe I will add value as well. I learn and understand extensively about potential mentees before accepting.

More about me:

I enjoy mentoring, enabling others to get into a career of Data. I have been a mentor on Springboard over the past year and have helped 10+ students graduate and successfully find data related jobs. I am also a Teaching Assistant for the Data Visualization Bootcamp @ UC Berkeley Extension.

My background is in information systems & earth systems, where I am passionate about translating complex datasets to inform key business decisions and solving technical problems.
