About

Hi, I’m Kai Lo, a data scientist and AI specialist with extensive experience building and deploying machine learning and AI models. I thrive on turning complex data into actionable insights and robust systems, from NLP to predictive analytics and recommender systems.

I enjoy collaborating across disciplines, deploying end-to-end ML workflows on AWS and Git, and mentoring others to grow their skills. In my spare time I explore new AI techniques, contribute to open source, and keep a curious eye on how data can transform products and sports analytics.
