Berkeley Coding Academy teaches Python, Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI to teens from around the world. We offer a summer intensive and 1-1 classes year-round as our students become Data Scientists. I developed Berkeley Coding Academy to bring machine learning to a larger audience online.I currently teach Math, Programming, and Data Science at the Independent Study Program of Berkeley High School where I also work with Home & Hospital Instruction. I have worked for BUSD since 2004.I am the author of Hands-on Gradient Boosting with XGBoost and Scikit-learn (2020), and the lead author of the Python Workshop (2019, revised 2022), which has been featured as an online course with Packt Publishing. I regularly contribute articles for Towards Data Science on Medium.Additional education projects have included Programming Power, a coding club to support girls and underserved students in computer science; AI/Machine Learning For Youth, a coding club for all Berkeley Unified School District students during distance learning; YourClock, an iPhone app developed with students that tracks your time spent in the universe using original units; and One Student, One Class, for which I taught Bay Area students math and computer science enrichment. My research includes developing a new basketball 3-point statistic (3NG) that combines percentage with 3-pointers made, and writing an original piecewise linear transformation that converts any thumbs-up / thumbs-down system into percentiles with skewness intact (Towards Data Science).
