Applied Statistics Specialist & Applied Mathematics Major · University of Toronto (2023 – 2027)
NLP · CV · Constructing and optimizing model and algorithm architectures
- 📊 Statistics student at UofT, working where statistical theory meets practical machine learning — mostly NLP.
- 🧪 I like building things from scratch and testing them with controlled experiments: locked evaluation protocols, parameter-matched baselines, and reporting what failed alongside what worked.
- 🛠️ Outside research I ship production software — full-stack apps (Spring Boot · ASP.NET Core · Vue · WeChat mini-programs), LLM / RAG services, and computer-vision inspection pipelines. Most of that lives in private repos.
- 🎻 Cellist since childhood; badminton when I'm away from the keyboard.
