About

Song is an ideal data science mentor if you’re looking for support with:
- Ace data science / ML interviews (SQL, Python, ML + case-style thinking)
- Pivot into data science or level up with a clear roadmap + strong portfolio strategy
- Transition from academia to industry (he's been there)

I bring a rare combination of deep academic training and real-world industry leadership. I spent over a decade as a mathematics professor, and I now work as a Data Science Manager at a tech company leading teams that use math, statistics, AI, and machine learning to solve high-impact business problems.

I’m passionate about helping others unlock their analytical and professional potential. Whether you’re a student building fundamentals, a researcher exploring industry applications, or a working professional aiming for the next step, I’ll help you develop stronger problem-solving frameworks, sharpen your technical skills, and move forward with confidence.

My mentoring style is structured, practical, and approachable. I focus on breaking down complex ideas into clear intuition, connecting them to real-world outcomes, and helping you make measurable progress with each session.

I can help you with:
- Data science/machine learning fundamentals and applied problem-solving
- SQL, Python, and analytical thinking
- Academic-to-industry transition strategy (positioning, projects, communication)
- Technical communication: explaining complex ideas clearly to non-technical audiences
- Career growth: learning plans, portfolio direction, and decision-making

If you’re ready to grow your skills and accelerate your career, feel free to message me—I’d be excited to help you reach your next milestone.
