What I'm looking for

I seek a technical role applying web, AI and computer vision skills in a collaborative, growth-focused company where I can build production systems and continue research-led development.

I am a software engineer with a strong foundation in web development, computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning, built during my B.Eng at Nanjing University of Science and Technology and through ongoing research and freelance work.

I have developed practical systems including a server-load forecasting model using ARIMA, a campus facial recognition enhancement, a library database, and a fullstack student management system that encompassed frontend, backend, and database components.

In professional roles I have taught web development to diverse learners, implemented convolutional neural network solutions for emotion detection, weld X-ray fault classification, and plant disease detection, and contributed to web and prototype development during industry internships.

I bring technical versatility across Python, Java, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, Scikit-learn, and Flutter (Dart), combined with experience integrating APIs, third-party services, and databases to deliver AI-infused applications and practical engineering outcomes.
