Biography

I am currently a research engineer at MediaTek CAI in Taiwan, with 2+ years ML-related industry experience through my internships (Apple, Microsoft, and Delta) and current role.
As a researcher, I delight in acquiring knowledge of new technologies and designing algorithms/models to address complex, real-world issues, with a track record of success.
As an engineer, I possess practical experience in developing and managing distributed computing platforms at both NTU and MediaTek. I am eager to familiarize myself with novel tools/frameworks to enhance system robustness and maintainability.
In addition, I am also a sports enthusiast and an amateur athlete. I am broadly interested in table tennis, hiking, marathon and training!
