About

I'm a data scientist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I recently created Select Star SQL, an interactive book for learning SQL and Socratic Regression, a geometric guide to linear regression.

Some of my formative experiences were at:

• The Chinese High School, Singapore
• Delta Wing, Officer Cadet School
• The University of Chicago
• Quora's data science team
• The Recurse Center

The outdoors are a big part of my life. I climb and sail.

Kaomorphism

In math, a morphism is a transformation that preserves the structure of a space. Likewise, a kaomorphism applies Kao's worldview while, at least in theory, preserving the fundamental truths of the world. A kaomorphism could also refer to the Kao - Eric Morphis friendship.
