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 was a great mentor! I unfortunately had to discontinue our mentorship sessions due to a change in career path, but for the period that we worked together, Leoson was supportive and invaluable in helping me reach my career goals. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to pursue a career in Machine Learning!

I was looking for a mentor to help me build my data analyst portfolio, and working with Leoson has been incredibly helpful. He took the time to understand my goals and provided thoughtful project ideas for me to work on. By the end of the mentorship, I was able to complete my portfolio and build my GitHub page. He is very responsive, attentive, and genuinely supportive throughout the process. I truly enjoyed the mentorship and am grateful for the insights and guidance he shared along the way.
