Hello there! 你好！はじめまして!
I am a Tech Consultant and Senior Data Scientist, and previously a Tech Lead at the University of Chicago Urban Labs. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve human problems, and have many years of experience in managing hiring processes for data professionals.
I believe strongly in interdisciplinary collaboration and learning, which is something I foster in my organizations and mentees. I personally have an interdisciplinary background - receiving my undergraduate training in Psychology and New Media, followed by Linguistics and Computer Science in graduate school. I have been at different times of my life an interaction designer, a mental health professional, and a data engineer.
I enjoy supporting individuals who are looking to break into tech and data science, regardless of their background. I will bring the resources and best practices I've personally used during my career, and tailor them to your specific needs. In today’s rapidly advancing space of GenAI and Large Language Models, I can also guide you in creating your first GenAI project, and use models like GPT and Claude more effectively in your work and daily life.
Looking forward to connecting and meeting!

Working with Leoson has been an incredibly meaningful and high-impact experience. He brings a rare mix of strategic depth, honesty, and genuine care for his mentees’ growth. He consistently challenged me to think bigger, act with intention, and make decisions aligned with long-term career leverage rather than short-term comfort. His insights helped me navigate complex career choices with greater confidence and clarity. If you are looking for a mentor who will push you to your next level while genuinely supporting your journey, I wholeheartedly recommend him.

I have been working with Leo for over a year. He helped me build a project portfolio from the ground up by guiding me in identifying project ideas that are highly relevant and in demand across the industry today and provided the frameworks I needed to bring them to life. Under his mentorship, I landed two job offers. Beyond his technical expertise, Leo is incredibly friendly, available and kind. He has been a steady voice of understanding and motivation during my most challenging days. I am extremely grateful to have found a mentor in him.
