Hi, I'm Tao Lin—but please, call me Richie.

I'm an experienced data professional who believes there is a human story behind every data point.

Currently, I serve as a Data Manager for the NYC Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice via the Data Collaborative for Justice at John Jay College. My path to here wasn't linear; my career began as a Marketing Manager for Pepsi in China. It has been a rewarding journey of blending data analysis, business strategy, and human behavior.

When I'm not analyzing data, I swap algorithms for chords and recipes. I play music, take photos, and I'm a pretty good home cook.

Thanks for stopping by, it's a pleasure to meet you.
