Data & AI analyst portfolio

Hi, I’m
Seyoung Yoo.

I study Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto with a focus in Global Health. I like a good puzzle, especially the kind that starts with a messy dataset and a question someone actually needs answered.

Experience.

I’ve managed restaurant shifts, run short-form campaigns, and tutored high school students. Each role taught me to explain decisions clearly and adjust when the first plan needs work.

  1. Math & Statistics Tutor

    Private tutoring · Busan, South Korea

    Jun – Sep 2026

    Designed lessons around each student’s gaps and used progress checks to adjust practice. Helped students improve their grades by approximately 20%.

  2. Digital Marketing Manager

    Daeyang Charcoal Grill · South Korea

    Apr – Aug 2026

    Planned Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts campaigns with external partners. The promotions and digital marketing work contributed to an approximately 30% increase in monthly restaurant revenue.

  3. Restaurant Manager

    Daeyang Charcoal Grill · South Korea

    Sep 2023 – Aug 2024

    Led a team of 5 employees, organized schedules and shift responsibilities, and coordinated daily service across front- and back-of-house teams.

About me.

I get curious about the decisions hiding inside a number. During an anti-money laundering project, I wanted to know what changing the alert threshold would actually do to an analyst’s workday. I looked at which suspicious cases slipped through and how many extra alerts someone would have to review.

That is what draws me to analytics. I like working backwards from a decision to figure out what we need to measure, which assumptions matter most, and what evidence would make me change my mind.

Off the clock.

I love road biking, hiking, and taking long walks. Indoors, I’m just as happy working on a puzzle, playing rhythm games, or hanging out with my cat, Dubu.

I’m competitive about almost everything. Sometimes I cry in secret at home after losing at Monopoly. The money is fake. The loss feels very real.

I love holding Dubu. She’d like to speak to my manager.
