About

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!

Leoson is a great mentor. We clicked right-away from day one. He is an expert at the AI/ML topic, and he was able to help me architect and build Agentic flow for my use cases, using the latest LLM advances. He's a great buddy to spar ideas and brainstorm with. He's full of knowledge and experience for any AI problems that you might face. I'd highly recommend him to anyone interested to grow in the AI/ML sphere.

Even though my time with Leoson was brief, he was consistently supportive and approachable. His guidance made a real difference, and I appreciated how generous he was with his time and knowledge.
