Hien Mai
After seeing the power of data at work, I am optimistic and pessimistic of our inevitable AI future. My top priority now is to build the culture of responsible usage of data.
Wang Wei Yang
I teach network science, complexity science, and system dynamics in NUS. While these are immensely interesting in their own right, science has its final justification through data. I hope to develop this community into a teaching and learning space for all things Big Data!
Divya Gehlot
I am a Hadoop Pioneer user and passionate learner of big data technologies. Experienced playing with structured financial data to unstructured telco data. Worked on almost all the big data technologies. Firm believer that data is the most valuable asset and right data has power to move the world.
Liu Jialin
I am an IT consultant and Spark developer at IBM. I have been through the process from drowning in 101 Big Data terms (and animal names) to writing Spark codes on a frequent basis. I hope to introduce Big Data to more people in an interesting way and utilise data in a value-added way.

I’m an IT Business Analyst and CPA holder with double degree in Accounting and Statistics. Terminology comes and goes, but the constant is a data explosion and the need to make sense of it, especially for data-intensive industries like financial services and IT.
