About

Graduated from Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University with Master of Science in Computer Science. Focusing on Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Web Development courses, I created many related projects during my academic years, such as using Machine Learning models to predict rental price in Manhattan and using NLP to find insights from Yelp reviews. I also hold a B.B.A degree in Information Management from Fu Jen Catholic University.

As my professional experience, I worked as System Engineer in EnTie Bank from 2012 to 2014 in Taiwan, I created and maintained different types of systems such as database systems and foreign exchange systems. Generating timely Transaction Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Accounts to optimize company incomes was also part of my duty.

I worked as Full Stack Developer Intern in Huledet from September 2016 to December 2016, developed and tested web-based application for giving free birthday gifts for more than one hundred thousand subscribers. My job also included migrating, transforming and scripting data from web pages as well as integrating front-end and back-end aspects of the web application.

I'm now seeking a full-time job related to Data Analytics or Full-Stack Development. Should you have any enquiries or want any additional information, please feel free to contact me at lihao@nyu.edu.
