I am interested in everything about AIML and AI agent building. I am currently working with Prof. Hui Fang at FSAN about fairness evaluation and fair ranking algorithms for information retrieval systems (open web search) using NLP, LLMs, RAG, and other machine learning techniques.
I enjoy working on quantitative research on financial content for bussiness insights and software development to build robust piplines for ML algorithms and search applications.
Having a solid backgound in computer science, I am an experienced data engineer/scientist/architect in building ETL piplines and RESTful APIs, automating data processes, and designing dashboards and reports.
I am also a big fan of Ski ⛷️, Kayak 🚣♂️, and Road Trip 🛣️.
