It's not just about solving problems; it's also an opportunity for creative expression. Putting in the last piece of the sky, I grinned at the image of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Completing the 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle over the weekend had been a challenge. I enjoyed finding order in the puzzling chaos– scanning for corner pieces, framing the edges, grouping similarly colored pieces, and putting them together. Come to think of it, using analytics and management to solve problems is not entirely different from working on a jigsaw puzzle. I got a glimpse into analytics when I stumbled across "Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think" by Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schonberger—inspired by the elegance of visualization and analytics' ability to answer puzzling questions made me pursue a Master of Science in Information Systems. I would summarize myself as someone who never settles for less. I am deadline driven, a team motivator, detail-oriented, and possess strong time management values. My interests include playing with data and numbers and building products. If someone wants to talk about data or work on data-related projects, shoot me a message :)
