A modern production line with manufacturing operations analytics

Yi Ma

My work connects statistical modeling, software engineering, and manufacturing operations data. I hold a B.S. in Statistics and Mathematics and an M.S. in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and I am currently pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Southern California.

My experience spans data analysis, predictive modeling, full-stack development, and mobile applications, extending to manufacturing challenges in cost, inventory, and supply. I aim to combine reliable analytical methods with software that makes results understandable, verifiable, and useful.

About Yi Ma

My academic path began in computer science, developed through statistics and mathematics, and returned to software and systems development. Statistical training taught me to examine evidence, models, and uncertainty; computer science helps me turn analytical methods into working applications.

In industry, I have contributed to data preparation, predictive modeling, and inventory visualization. I also exchange technical ideas through forum presentations and project reviews. These experiences have broadened my focus from model outputs to usability, business context, and implementation outcomes.
