About Me

I'm a passionate software engineer and researcher who recently completed my Master's degree in Information Networking at Carnegie Mellon University. With a strong foundation in computer science from NYU and hands-on experience in AI/ML systems, I'm dedicated to building innovative solutions that bridge the gap between research and real-world applications.

Currently, I'm working as a Research Intern under Chenyu You at Stony Brook University, where I'm contributing to cutting-edge research in machine learning and computer vision applications.

My technical interests span across distributed systems, machine learning, web development, and data visualization. I enjoy tackling complex problems and creating efficient, scalable solutions.
