I'm currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Utah, advised by Dr. Mary Hall. My research interests lie in HPC, Machine Learning Systems, and Compilers.
Previously:
- 🧠 Machine Learning Research Engineer at Huawei
- 🎓 Undergraduate at University of Toronto (Honours B.Sc. with Distinction in CS and Math, 2022)
- 🧪 I enjoy working on systems-level software, compilers, and numerical programming.
- ✨ Built a Path and Ray Tracer while self-learning computer graphics.
- 📚 Strongly recommend Physically Based Rendering if you're interested in rendering.
- 🛠️ I love writing C and building low-level infrastructure tools.
- 🖥️ I run Vancouver Web Studio
- 🎓 I offer tutoring for K–12 and undergraduate CS students, especially in systems topics.

I believe in owning your space on the internet, not relying on social media. So, you'll rarely find me on Instagram, X, or anywhere else. I'm early Gen Z (born 1998), but I like building websites more than browsing them.
