Seeing Society Through Data
Hi, I’m Felix Liu.
I hold a master’s degree in Actuarial Science and Risk Management from the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign (UIUC). Prior to UIUC, I earned a bachelor’s degree from Xi’an Jiaotong University and a master’s degree from Nanjing University in China.
I have several years of professional experience as a data scientist at leading technology companies in China, including Kuaishou and TikTok. I am currently pursuing professional actuarial certification and have passed SOA Exams P, FM, and SRM. I am currently preparing for CAS MAS-I and MAS-II.
This website serves as a personal space where I share data analysis projects, learning reflections, and technical explorations. Feel free to reach out if you would like to connect or discuss anything I post here.
