About

This blog details the data science projects undertaken by Yixuan, also known as @tamagoniisan (instagram handle). On top of thinking of the kind of world problems that data can bring insights for, Yixuan also enjoys playing the piano, casual gaming, and cooking egg dishes. He also tends to litter his instagram feed with lots of cute puppies, kittens, and micro piglets.

Not much was known about how Yixuan started his data journey, but it was partially through having a tiny hand on the power of data, plus the exposure brought about industry players no doubt trying to drum up what they term the seeming lack of supply of Data Scientists in the world. He started small - creating his own formulas to navigate the confusing quotations given by forwarders, to helping and encouraging his co-workers to do the same to improve on their work. It wasn't his main job scope then, so he went on to find other work which included his friend's own business. On top of that, he was also learning python on the side.

Not long after, Yixuan knew what he really wanted to do in life, and also realised that in this data journey he needed more time and motivation. As such, he made a leap of faith and resigned from his company, to pursue full time study so as to be ready as a Data Scientist.

At present, he continues to seek out new data science tools while job hunting at the same time. If you have read up to this point please give him a chance thank you!
