About Me

Hi! I’m a machine learning researcher/engineer with a passion for reinforcement learning and deep learning. During my Master’s at National Taiwan University, I led projects that were published at top-tier conferences like NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR, and had the chance to present my work in Vienna and Vancouver. My research has been cited over 30 times and supported by the NSTC international travel grant.

After graduation, I joined UC Capital, as an ML researcher, where I build intelligent systems while applying solid engineering practices. I bring hands-on experience with multi-threading, interprocess communication, socket programming, internationalization (I18N), and writing production-ready code.

In my free time, I build LEGO sets and go snowboarding when it’s winter. I’ve also just started learning tennis and, even though I’m still new to it, I’m really enjoying the process.
