David Dai

MSc

Sr. Data Scientist

​

The coolest things I've done in my career are:

I was admitted to university on a full scholarship… in classical music performance. Several forks in the road later, I have found my niche as a data guy.

​

If I could have a super power it would be:

To never be hungry, but also never be full. I am constantly hungry and it can be quite inconvenient when I’m busy, but I also love to eat (except when I’m busy).

​

I'm a "closet" fan of:

Harry Potter

​

The nerdiest thing I do in my spare time is:

Watch Elon Musk videos explaining why we are probably living in a simulation.

​

Three things still on my bucket list are:

1. Go scuba diving

2. Adopt a pet

3. Harry Potter movie marathon

​

My past experience includes:

I started my post-secondary education at the University of Toronto for classical music performance (saxophone), and later decided it would be in my interest to stick to my more practical strengths in science and math. I graduated with an honours bachelor of science from U of T specializing in pathobiology, with electives in statistics and computer science. I completed my masters in biostatistics at U of T.
