About Me Projects

A Few Words About Myself

I'm Josslyn Zhang, a recent graduate in Statistics, Computer Science and Mathematics. I'm currently based in Denver, Colorado and in the future I hope to work as a Data Engineer. My curiosity for search and recommendation engines drove me to work with data in academia. I've recently been experimenting with mathematical modeling and machine learning in my spare time with Python, leveraging tools such as TensorFlow. I also enjoy volunteer work, travel, street food and in the future I hope to learn surfing and diving.

Design

Statistics modeling tools that I enjoy: Apache spark and Hadoop MapReduce. RDBMS design / MySQL Workbench.

Code

Coding language most familiar to least: Python, JAVA, C. Mathematically programming most familiar to least: R, SAS, MATLAB.

Tools

Familiar with jetbrains tools, especially IntelliJ Idea, PyCharm and CLion. Atom is also being used a lot for code editing.
