🔭 Current Role: Chief Data Scientist at Synapse Analytics
🌱 Education: PhD in Computer Science & MSc in Bioinformatics from Nanyang Technological University

These are my HOT repos:

dbparser
- Open-source R package for parsing and integrating heterogeneous public drug datasets
- 49K+ downloads!
Chemogenomic DTI Prediction Methods
- Companion website for a survey paper I wrote on computational methods for predicting drug-target interactions
- Contains organized links to other works in the fields and their corresponding source codes as well as essential third-party feature extraction tools
CAFA 6 Protein Function Prediction
- Kaggle competition for predicting protein function prediction from their protein sequences and gene ontology (GO) information
- Competition type: Extreme multi-label classification --> There are 26K GO terms, and for each protein, predict which terms apply to it
- Contains my EDA on the data as well as my feature engineering pipeline for generating features

Nowadays, I am mostly working on the "Life with" repos here on my GitHub:

I also have my own pet projects that I work on from time to time:

HEROIC Surfer
- HEROIC is a self-development platform that provides lots of content (book summaries, daily wisdom videos, meditations, etc.)
- I scraped the HEROIC website. With what I am scraping, I intend to build a LLM-powered Shiny app that lets you explore the HEROIC database.
BGG Scraper
- Board Game Geek (BGG) is an encyclopedic website that has all kinds of information on all board games ine existence.
- I developed many functions for scraping different kinds of board game info. Most of these functions made use of the BGG's XML API.

Feel free to explore my repositories and reach out if you'd like to collaborate on exciting data science projects!
