Hi, I Am

Stephen Choung

Software Engineer, Entrepreneur, and Go Player

An experienced leader, a critical thinker, and sometimes hilarious!

I taught myself how to code to further explore my passion for data. I spent 2 years learning Data Science, Robotic Process Automation and getting my Six-Sigma Black Belt. During that time, I realized that I really enjoy programming and decided to make it my career. In my free time you can find me playing Go/Weichi/Baduk at the Hungarian Pastry Shop in New York City.
