Ekko Ma is a statistical programmer with 11 years of technical experience, currently applying applied statistics at Everest Clinical Research in Shanghai. With a master’s in applied statistics and a background in applied mathematics, Ekko blends quantitative rigor with hands-on software skills, including iOS and front-end work. He contributes to notable open-source projects like RSSHub—adding back-end routes and API integrations for major services—and has improved Hexo themes for better performance and CDN usage. Comfortable moving between data analysis, API integration, and UI tweaks, Ekko brings a pragmatic, full-stack mindset to research-driven engineering problems. Unusually for a statistical programmer, he maintains active engineering contributions that bridge clinical analytics and consumer-facing tooling.
