A curious human being

Thanks for visiting my space, this where I learn, think, and write.
 
 
My background is mostly in distributed machine learning systems.
  • I graduated from University of Michigan (summa cum laude) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University with degrees in both Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Computer Engineering.
  • I obtained my Master’s degree from UCLA in Computer Science (specialization: data mining and machine learning).
  • I spent 2 years in Meta’s marketplace team working on recommendation systems.
  • I spent 2 years in Voleon (largest quant HF in California) working on data and systems.
  • I spent 3 years traveling and exploring, learning about the mathematical foundation behind deep learning, implemented various models and architectures, played a lot with GPU kernels.
 
I currently work at Manifest AI, carrying out research on efficient language modeling.
 
I also believe in Longtermism where positively influencing the long-term future is the priority of our time.
 
I’m currently based in Vancouver, Canada. I can be reached at [email protected].
