Summary
Mihwa Han is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years of experience translating complex research-grade datasets into production-ready ML solutions, currently driving analytics at Coupang after roles at Shopify and TJX. With dual master's training in astrophysics and astronomy plus formal machine learning education, she blends rigorous statistical modeling and experimental design with practical engineering using Python, deep learning, and gradient-boosted trees. Her early academic work processing multi-hundred-gigabyte telescope imagery and improving exposure time calculators demonstrates a knack for scaling noisy scientific problems into measurable product improvements. Comfortable moving between research and product settings, she has a track record of cutting measurement time and boosting accuracy through principled pipelines and novel techniques. Outside of work she curates findings and projects on her blog and GitHub, signaling an ongoing commitment to learning and public-facing reproducibility.
