Research Assistant in DASH Lab

• Developing an LLM framework that fine-tunes models based on user behaviors and conversation logs, incorporating a memory-based technique to retain personalization with a compact model size and on-device efficiency.
• Developed the GIDEA system, a cross-platform (Mac and Vision Pro) 3D simulation environment that integrates LLM-generated human behaviors with sensor-driven contexts to replicate and evaluate assistant-user interactions.
• Developed a ReactJS web application to visualize and compare scooter dispatching algorithms for over 1,000 e-scooters, incorporating real-time backend dispatching data to simulate dynamically.

Research Assistant on Math Pal Web Pack

• Developed a ReactJS website and a Chrome extension offering topic-specific videos and instructor-curated practice questions, leveraging the OpenAI API with configurated prompts to deliver hints instead of answers.
• Enabled the extension to dynamically provide context-aware assistance by adapting to the student's current learning level, including the specific question type, subject area, and challenge level presented on the website.
• Implemented shared authentication to provide seamless access between the website and the Chrome extension.
• Migrated from Firebase to a self-hosted Supabase with PostgreSQL database, enabling secure storage and retrieval of user conversation histories for improved data ownership and oversight.

CS Consultant on PeerSpace Web App

• Designed and implemented an integrated classroom platform, consolidating communication, group management, and course materials into a single web app to reduce app switching and learning overhead.
• Developed real-time communication and collaboration features-including in-app chat, Zoom scheduling, email notifications, and calendar services—supported by a PostgreSQL backend for scalability and user experience.

Full Stack Developer Intern

• Contributed to a local AI legal assistant platform, offering legal support and case analysis.
• Built CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate deployment for both frontend and backend services.
• Supported DevOps operations, websites managements, chatbot web application, and the company website.

Research Assistant on Web Crawling Project

• Built automated data crawling pipelines using Selenium and BeautifulSoup for scraping over 1,000 records.
• Implemented an auto-resume feature to recover interrupted scripts and minimize data loss.
• Configured email notifications to alert errors or completion status, ensuring transparency and tracking.
• Integrated data cleaning into the pipeline for seamless preprocessing, automated uploads to Dropbox for centralized storage and easy access, and set up periodic execution to ensure consistent operation.

Objects Detection Android Application

• Developed an Object Detection app on Mobile Device.
• Implemented both mobile inference and cloud inference with YoloV5 model.

AI Maze Game Project

• Developed a turn-based maze game as the platform.
• Implemented Minimax with Alpha-Beta Pruning to optimize decision-making in adversarial situations.
• Used Monte Carlo Tree Search for simulating long-term strategies and evaluating potential moves.
• Applied Deep Q-Network for self-learning through AI self-play, improving strategy over time.

Travel Time Estimator

• Built and trained a neural network model to estimate travel times based on historical data in San Francisco.
• Implemented data preprocessing techniques and utilized MSE loss function and Adam optimizer.

Self Navigated 3D printed Drone

• Designed and 3D printed a single-axis dual-rotor drone using Autodesk and Arduino.
• The drone was able to automatically detect targets, navigate routes, and control its height, direction, and speed.

Traffic Accident Pattern Analysis Project

• Conducted a comprehensive analysis of traffic accident severity with data in the United States (2016-2023).
• Processed, standardized and cleaned the dataset and engineered features with PySpark.
• Built and trained a Random Forest Model to evaluate complex patterns and relationships.

Full Stack Developer Intern

• Developed a cloud-based web application for video chatting between patients and nurses in a hospital setting.
• Utilized ReactJS for the frontend, SQLite and Gradle for the backend.
