What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can apply my skills in software development and data analysis, while also having opportunities for growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated software engineer currently pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign, where I have consistently achieved academic excellence, graduating with Highest Honors and maintaining a GPA of 3.97. My passion lies in leveraging technology to solve complex problems, particularly in the realms of artificial intelligence and data analysis.

During my internship at Zhejiang Baoxing Smart City Construction Co., Ltd., I developed and deployed visual models for detecting various activities, achieving a remarkable accuracy of 95%. I also contributed to significant data analysis projects that enhanced operational efficiency. My role as a Research Software Engineer at UIUC has further honed my skills in full-stack development and collaborative teamwork, as I worked on a dynamic web application aimed at improving networking among researchers.
