About me

Hi! 你好! 👋

My name is Steven Lio. I was born in Hong Kong, China and grew up in Macau, China. I moved to Canada in 2007 and currently living in Toronto, Ontario.

I received my Master of Data Science from University of British Columbia (Canada) and my Bachelor of Science degree in Statistics from McMaster University (Canada).

With over 6 years of professional experience, I specialized in developing data-driven solutions and workflows to extract actionable insights that support strategic decision-making for cross-functional teams in Government, Telecom, Retail and Software industries. I possess a natural curiousity and a keen eye for detail when analyzing data, enabling me to find the optimal solutions for finding data-driven solutions and drive business decisions.

Proficient in Python and R, I excel in creating end-to-end machine learning workflows for data science projects. My expertise includes developing efficient data pipelines, conducting feature engineering, implementing machine learning models and building interactive visualization applications. Like this one here.

I have practical experience tackling real-world challenges by applying machine learning algorithms for a variety of tasks. These include classification, clustering, statistical inference, regression modeling, time series modeling, all aimed at enhancing analytical insights and decision-making process. I have also developed advanced machine learning models such as implementing and training neural networks (CNN) for image classification, segmentation, computer vision tasks. My expertise extends to writing complex SQL queries for processing and aggregating large datasets, and designing robust data ETL processes.

My advanced data analytics have supported marketing strategy research in areas such as Predicting Customer Value, Customer Segmentation, Sentiment Analysis, Market Potential and Shares Estimation, Competitor Analysis, Optimizing Sales Channels.
