About Me
Profile Picture

I completed my M.S. in Computing, specializing in Artificial Intelligence, at The University of Utah. My coursework focused on core computer science and modern AI/ML topics, providing a deep understanding in the design and architecture of large-scale intelligent systems. Under the guidance of Dr. Shandian Zhe, I conducted research on Large Language Models (LLMs), driven by a fascination with machine learning and its transformative potential. I also served as a Teaching Assistant for Operating Systems and Database Systems course in the CS department.

Prior to my master’s, I worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Accenture, where I transformed my self-taught coding experience into a rewarding career. Accenture offered a dynamic platform to apply and grow my technical skills, and I continue to be passionate about software engineering and innovation.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, cooking, photography, and strength training.

Profile

With 3.5 years of experience as a software engineer (2 years in full-stack and 1.5 years in backend), I bring expertise in quickly learning new technologies, designing efficient backends and databases, developing robust web services, and crafting seamless user interfaces. My technical interests lie in building scalable and distributed systems, with a focus on integrating Machine Learning and AI to make the products intelligent.
