About me

Hello! I am Tiger Tang, a Data Science Leader at CARFAX. I lead teams and initiatives across data science, machine learning, automation, and AI, with a focus on turning complex data and workflows into practical solutions that create measurable business impact.

I am the author of Work Automation with R (CRC Press, 2026), 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. My experience learning both human and programming languages has also shaped how I think about technical learning, an idea I explored in my Posit 2026 talk, From ABC to AI: Applying Language Acquisition to R and Technical Mastery.

I regularly speak on data science, workflow automation, R and Shiny, AI, and technical learning. For speaking engagements, workshops, or conference invitations, please email me at hello@tigertang.org.
