Data Analytics
Aside from research in political science, I am interested in conducting data analytics to find actionable insights. I had several opportunities to work as a data scientist for tech startups.

- Built a machine learning pipeline based on generalized linear models that improves prediction of insurance claims amount based on 74K+ entity-level meta data, such as number of employees, zipcodes, and individual-level claims amount.
- Delivered analytics on customer and company-level in-house data.
