About Me

Hi, I am Yixuan Feng

I am passionate about gleaning insightful information from massive data assets and developing a culture of data-driven decision-making.

Today’s world is ruled by Data. Data is the most important asset a company could have to understand customer needs and grow its business. It has become more important to manage, cleanse and utilize this data effectively.
