Top SchoolHorace Fung is a Senior Data Scientist based in New York with eight years of experience building end-to-end data capabilities that drive business decisions. He has progressed through multiple data roles at Oscar Health and Walmart eCommerce, delivering production-ready infrastructure, modeling, and analytics that reduce runtime and improve data accuracy. His background includes academic research at NYU Stern where he recast fuzzy company-name matching as a linear assignment problem to speed processing—an example of his focus on reframing problems for efficiency. Horace blends hands-on engineering (Python, SQL, Hadoop/YARN, H2O) with product-minded thinking, having automated reporting workflows and simplified data sources to accelerate dashboarding and downstream use.
