I recently graduated from Cornell University with the degree of Master of Engineering in Computer Science, primarily focused on parallel computing, blockchain, databases, and computer vision. Previously, I completed my Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics at University of British Columbia.

That being said, I have 5-6 years of experience with writing significant amounts of code with experience in API development, Java, C++, Python, and many other languages. I thrive on the challenge of maintaining a strong product focus, always striving to deliver the best possible experience for users. Additionally, I am a team player who love to foster an inclusive and supportive atmosphere where everyone's contributions are valued and respected.

Besides work, I do snowboarding in the winter. I also love playing tennis and video games. Please hit me up if you are also interested!

Software Research & Development Intern | Sep 2021 - April 2022
INTEL Corporation | Vancouver, BC
▪ Developed and implemented C-based optimization settings for quality-speed tradeoffs of low-delay streaming and video compression in the widely-used SVT-AV1 encoder, decreased ~10% bitrate loss and increased ~8% speed.
▪ Developed testing scripts using Python and ran on AWS EC2 Linux instances for evaluating bitrate/speed tradeoffs for existing SVT-AV1 features; Collaborated with teams to perform comparative analysis among video encoders in the market using data obtained from tests; addressed performance and stability issues through debugging.
▪ Designed and implemented an optimized video decoder program using C. Simplified the 5 decoding levels to a more maintainable 2-level system by evaluating the decoder speed against existing solutions in the market.
▪ Implemented unit tests using Check framework , achieved test coverage of 95%+ and packaged the program using CMake.

Software Developer Intern | July 2019 - Aug 2019
Tencent Holdings Ltd | Shenzhen, China
▪ Built an event-driven notification system using Python and Flask framework to keep track of keywords and feedback given by users on stock forums.
▪ Extracted dynamically generated content from JavaScript-based stock forums by integrating Python libraries Scrapy and Splash, enabling server-side JavaScript execution and rendering for full HTML access. Utilized dynamic IPs and controlled crawling rate to avoid throttling.
▪ Persisted users post data into MySQL databases consisting of >5G user data for further analysis and relational database management. Crafted schema to encapsulate essential attributes and employed strategic indexing on crucial attributes that are frequently used in search for efficient data retrieval.
