Xinye has had the fortune of working at various organisations and industries for over a decade, from corporate to startup, telecom to luxury retail, splitting his time between translating business challenges to data projects, and delivering those projects with data and code. Data Science to him is about standing on the shoulders of algorithmic giants and applying pragmatic solutions that help businesses run better. Behind the door, he also gets a kick out of efficient and well-organised code, and applying best practice of software development as much as he can manage, among other nerdy geekery. Now at Ascent/Mango he is trying to support all the data scientists along their own discovery and project delivery.
