ABOUT

Feifei Li

Bilingual (Mandarin/English) data scientist who pivoted from political science to computer science to data science — starting with Google certificates while working as a USPS letter carrier, then earning an A.S. in Computer Science (Honors, 3.93 GPA) and now finishing a B.S. in Data Science (4.0 at Metropolitan State, Dec 2026). Two-time 1st Place competition winner. Six shipped applications. VP to President in three months. Background in medical interpretation gives me a rare ability to bridge technical work with human context — whether it’s healthcare data, team diagnostics, or community analytics.
