Hongyao Shao
Data Science & Business student at Boston University. I work at the intersection of data, technology, and business.
About
I'm a senior at Boston University pursuing a B.S. in Data Science and a B.S.B.A. in Business Administration & Management with a Finance concentration. I'm passionate about turning data into insights and decisions, whether that's building ML pipelines, analyzing financial markets, or visualizing complex datasets.
Technical Project Manager at BU Spark!, and previously an analyst in investment and Web3 contexts. I enjoy building side projects that sit at the edge of what I know.
Outside of work, I'm a travel enthusiast always chasing the next destination, and a big football fan :) Visca Barça !
