4+ years building BI end-to-end Infrastructure. I sit with the ambiguity, ask what your team hasn't, and translate fuzzy business goals into a clear data model and KPI framework that holds up under scrutiny.

๐น Ambiguity โ Clarity: I define the right questions and metrics before building anything, so you measure what matters, not what's easy.
๐น Semantic & Data Modeling: Star schemas, slowly-changing dimensions, reconciled grain, single source of truth
๐น Scalable Architecture: Pipelines and models designed for "Day 2", maintainable, cost-aware, documented, built to grow instead of breaking at scale.
๐น Context Integration: I unify Stripe, Shopify, Zoho, GA4, Ads platforms, etc. and CRMs into one coherent ecosystem that mirrors how your business actually operates.
๐น Narrative & Decision Design: Every visual answers a business question and points to an action, analysis a CEO can act on in seconds.

๐น Business-first, not tool-first: I start with your objectives and constraints, not your dataset.
๐น End-to-end ownership: From auditing sources and defining KPIs to modeling, building, and publishing, I run the full lifecycle.
๐น Transparency: You own your data and infrastructure. I document every step, so nothing is a black box.
๐น AI as leverage, not a gimmick: I automate the repetitive parts so the strategic parts get more of my attention.

Your dashboard is not the problem.
The problem is the spreadsheet behind it.
The export nobody fully trusts.
The KPI definition that changed three times.
The manual step someone forgot to document.
The number that looks right until another report says something different.
That is the part I fix.
I work on broken dashboards and fragile reporting workflows: CRM exports, spreadsheets, CSV files, APIs, R Shiny apps, and internal reports that technically exist, but are too manual, inconsistent, or unclear to rely on.
I do not just make dashboards look better.
I review how the data is created, where the reporting logic breaks, which fields are safe to use, what needs to be cleaned or restructured, and what should be documented so the same problem does not come back next week or next month.
You will not get a passive data cleaner.
You will get someone who asks practical questions, challenges unclear logic, makes decisions when the structure is messy, and keeps the work moving instead of waiting for perfect instructions.
What I can do for you:
โข Fix broken dashboards where the numbers do not match the source data
โข Audit R Shiny apps and reporting workflows for logic, structure, and data issues
โข Rebuild manual reporting processes built around repeated Excel, CSV, CRM, or API exports
โข Clean and structure messy operational data before it reaches a dashboard
โข Review KPI definitions and reporting logic
โข Build R/Shiny dashboards for internal decision-making
โข Create R Markdown / Quarto reports that can be updated again
โข Add validation checks before numbers reach the final report
โข Document the workflow so your team can maintain it later
Recent outcomes:
โข Reduced manual reporting time by ~80% by replacing repetitive CRM exports with an API-connected R/Shiny dashboard
โข Reviewed operational, clinical, and billing data in a multi-location healthcare CRM environment
โข Structured fragmented transaction records into a clearer reporting workflow
โข Turned raw survey data into validated customer segments for strategic targeting
Core tools:
R, SQL, Shiny, R Markdown/Quarto, tidyverse, Excel/CSV workflows.
You are probably a good fit if you already have reports, dashboards, spreadsheets, apps, or exports โ but the process is too manual, inconsistent, unclear, or hard to trust.

I'm an Upwork Expert-Vetted Data Scientist who covers what usually takes two specialists: classic ML and modern LLM systems, shipped to production.
Nobody understands your business like you do, and you know exactly the bottleneck you want gone. You want someone who can see it just as clearly, bring it to life the way you imagined, and build it to last. That has been my track record.
Imagine handing off your idea, and what comes back makes you say, "This is exactly what I had in mind!" That is the feedback I hear most from my clients.
Here's what working together looks like: You explain the vision. I turn it into a clear plan, build the system end-to-end, and ship something your team can actually run and trust.
Whether it's an LLM or RAG application, an AI agent, or a forecasting or anomaly-detection engine, it is handed over to you already deployed in production, documented, and yours to keep building on.
What my clients say:
โ "She took our vision as her own and brought it to life."
โ "When she says she'll handle something, it's done."
โ "Hwei is the proverbial needle in a haystack. She gets it. She gets it done."
Recent projects:
โข A US women's health startup: I led the AI intelligence layer behind their production multi-agent chatbot, live ahead of their fundraise.
โข A Fortune 500 consumer brand: I built a shelf-life forecasting platform that turned weeks of manual modeling into 30-second predictions.
โข An Italian telecom firm: I built an LLM document validation pipeline that cut compliance review from days to minutes, with zero false approvals against their own 99.7% precision target.
โข A Dutch water consortium: I built an anomaly-detection system that caught real contamination with zero false alarms, then grew it into a 12.3M-measurement data platform that their own team can run without a developer.
โ Expert-Vetted ยท Top 1% on Upwork ยท 100% Job Success
โ ML and AI since 2018 ยท 8 published papers ยท Trained at Fraunhofer SCAI and the University of Hamburg
Tell me what you're trying to build, and I'll reply with a clear path forward, built around your goals.
