I’m Chihua Ma (马驰华), Director of Decision Sciences Visual Analytics at Epsilon. I lead a team of data scientists building visual analytics systems that turn complex data into clear stories and actionable decisions.
I have 8+ years of AdTech experience across data visualization, human-computer interaction, and AI/ML. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from UIC, I’m currently pursuing an MBA at Northwestern Kellogg, and I enjoy building practical tools for everyday community needs.
A project I built during my free time to solve a real family-life problem close to home.
Family life · Local events
Find Free Family Events helps families discover free kids events across the Chicago north and northwest suburbs. I built it to make local library programs, creative activities, and weekend-friendly outings easier to find.
