Developed data pipelines for high-density data collection and gesture recognition to assist future model training.

San Francisco, Ca, Us

-Implemented and optimized a Two-Tower NN model together with fast KNN for movie recommendation on MovieTweeting dataset, which can rank 30,000+ movies for a user in 2 sec with 0.64 recall@10.-Developed frequency hashing based on long-tail data distribution, compressed 70% model size while achieving 0.03% recall gain by mitigating the cold start problem. -Applied quantized aware training, saved 75% model size with tolerant recall loss.-Deployed environments to GCP using GKE and served the product as a Streamlit web application.

-Researched bacteria kinetics by building stochastic models, formulating optimization problems, and performing experiments, saved the influent dilution rate by 30%. -Analyzed 3+ years’ datasets using regression, principal component analysis, support vector machine, and neural network, which generated 2 high-impact publications.-Led teams of 5 scientists and 3 engineers from a government organization in 10 experiments, designing and planning an end-to-end research project and collaboration with different stakeholders.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

-Assisted in teaching 80+ students in two engineering core courses and received a 4.5/5 feedback rating.-Designed and ran a 2-hour weekly workshop supplemental to the core courses, with emphasis on solving problems, reviewing material, and expanding topics.
