Online Bookstore Database System
April 1, 2016 – Present
The goal of the project is to implement a database system for an online bookstore. The database system includes all the functions in the online business and daily operations, and there are generally three types of users: customers, clerks, managers and a super administrator. The system offers the following functions to the customers: 1) Register and Login 2) View/update his/her personal information 3) Browse book information 4) Purchase books 5) Check out his/her purchase history The system offers the following functions to the clerks: 1) View/update clerk's information 2) View/update store information 3) Create book record 4) Create inventory record of the store 5) Update inventory record of the store 6) View order list of the store 7) View operation report of the store: including different queries and data aggregations on inventory and sales 8) Query on store order given a specific book 9) Query on store order given a specific customer The system offers the following functions to the managers: 1) View/update manager's information 2) View/update store information 3) View operation report of the region: including different queries and data aggregations on inventory and sales
Titanic: Machine Learning from Disaster
December 1, 2015 – Present
The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most infamous shipwrecks in history. On April 15, 1912, during her maiden voyage, the Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg, killing 1502 out of 2224 passengers and crew. This sensational tragedy shocked the international community and led to better safety regulations for ships. In this challenge, we completed the analysis of what sorts of people were likely to survive, and applied the tools of machine learning to predict which passengers survived the tragedy. We achieved 0.82297 accuracy and ranked in 99th in the leaderboard globally on December 4, 2015.

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's project diversity, ranging from machine learning competitions to data visualization and database systems, indicates a broad interest and adaptability. Their career progression from Data Scientist to Research Scientist and then to Applied AI ML Lead and Senior Staff AI/ML Engineer shows ambition and a continuous learning mindset. While the target role is 'Data Analyst', the candidate's recent experience is heavily skewed towards advanced AI/ML engineering and research. This suggests a potential overqualification or a mismatch in the desired scope of work for a typical Data Analyst role, which might focus more on reporting, dashboards, and business intelligence rather than model development and deployment. The transition from finance to data science/ML also shows a willingness to pivot and learn new domains.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong analytical and problem-solving skills through their project work and professional experience in identifying and fixing defects. Their experience in hosting research meetings and mentoring new teammates suggests good communication and collaboration skills. The project awards indicate a drive for quality and innovation. However, without psychometric test results, a full assessment of work attitude, stress handling, and team collaboration is not possible.
