I'm a data science enthusiast. Currently working on the graph area. I had done a lot of different things, marketing, developer, product management, on-site sales.

Writing is really like birthing a baby, it takes great efforts both mentally and physically, but also gives great joy.

Mostly I write on Hacker Noon related to Deep Learning and Machine Learning. The one fun project I have is to train a deel learning model to classify Chinese calligraphy.

Doing everything from scratch, gathering data, processing images, build and fine-tune model and wrote a website and put it online.

Great fun!
