Hello, I’m Xiao Ping (XP). I currently work as a Data Engineering Manager at Esri Singapore, on software and data engineering across on-premise and cloud platforms. My research and teaching focus on applied machine learning and geospatial techniques. Throughout my career, I have taught bachelor- and master-level courses, coding workshops and music classes, and have had the privilege of receiving multiple teaching awards.
As an educator, I find that students are best motivated when they grasp underlying concepts and are inspired by what they see. That's why, in my courses, we will dive right into interesting and practical examples. We will take a hands-on approach, by actively applying our knowledge to real-world scenarios through a step-by-step process.
