About me

Hello! I am Tiger Tang, a Data Science Leader at CARFAX. I lead data science initiatives in predictive modeling, natural language processing, and causal research, with a focus on applying data science to real-world business problems and supporting teams in building practical analytical solutions.

I work primarily with Python and R. Python is often used for deep learning tasks, while R is widely used in my work for data workflows, dashboards, and automation systems. I am also an active developer and trainer in the R and Shiny ecosystem.

I am the author of the forthcoming book Work Automation with R (CRC Press), which explores how R can be used to automate real-world data science workflows, reporting pipelines, and operational processes.

In addition to my industry work, I serve as President of the Chinese-American Data Science and Engineering Association (CADSEA), where I support the growth of the data science community.

R is the third language I use fluently (the first two are Chinese and English). I believe it is one of the most powerful tools for people starting their journey in data programming. The more you explore it, the more possibilities you discover.

You can also watch my RStudio Conference talk on saving 1,000 hours with RStudio.

If you are interested in data science, R, Shiny, or workflow automation, feel free to explore my posts. I’m always happy to connect with people who are learning or building in the data science community.
