Senior🎓
Top SchoolYiwei Zhang is a software engineer with 8 years of experience combining statistical rigor and production engineering, currently building Brand Ads at TikTok after a software engineer role at Goldman Sachs. With a Master’s in Statistics from the University of Washington and a Mathematics undergraduate degree from Nanjing University, he transforms raw data into actionable insights using Python, SQL, cloud tools, and visualization platforms like Tableau. His strengths span data cleaning, predictive and classification modeling (KNN, random forest), clustering, text mining and A/B testing, plus practical experience deploying analyses with Git and AWS. Early research on chaotic behavior in coupled map lattices and a data-mining internship that improved a Bayesian gender classifier hint at a strong mathematical foundation and an experimental, results-oriented mindset. Based in Cupertino, he bridges academic theory and scalable engineering, favoring robust, data-driven solutions that survive noisy real-world inputs.
