Portfolio
Here are some of my test projects. These projects are for demo purposes and not for full production. The codes for these projects can be found on my github. The first anime web app does not have the anime episodes due to premium member block while web scraping. The into the larger world web may take some time to generate the first graph due to delay in data parsing. The wordcloud project needs you to upload a .txt file (can be draged in from PC).

Testimonials
These are quoted from my supervisors' recommendations
A dedicated, self-reflective student that is always willing to learn new knowledge and implement new research path. He's always improving in refining research problems and find potential solutions for AI research.
Shui Yu
Professor
What I love about Andrew is that every time I tell him that a pie chart, stacked barchart, or other means to tell the story with data is not entirely what I want, his response is, "don't worry, this is my job, tell me what you need." How refreshing.
Jon Lund
Director of International Admissions
Instead of showing only the code for the visualisation and models like other classmates, he delivers an exceptional experience with a website that shows how Data Science can be fun and interactive while solving real world problems.
