Hi! I am a Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer at DocuSign Inc., focusing on AI Search. Before joining DocuSign, I was a Machine Learning Engineer at Neeva Inc., focusing on large language modeling for web search. I was a Master student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, working with Dr.Na Zou and Dr. Xia (Ben) Hu, graduated in Dec 2022. Before graduating, I worked as a Software Engineer Intern in Apple. Inc , where I helped develop an automated testing system to support the deployment iterations of the Journal app.
I received my Master degree in Industrial Engineering from Texas A&M University in 2020 and Bachelor degree in Logistics Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Before graduating, I was a Data Analyst Intern at Bristol-Myers Squibb (Devens, MA) from 07/2019-12/2019 , working with Christian Merrill.
When I was an engineer and researcher working at Data Lab of Texas A&M University, I focus on Anomaly Detection and Fairness AI. I was also a seasoned software developer working at Texas A&M Data Lab, contributed to several Python open-source projects with more than 1700 GitHub stars and more than50,000 downloads in total.

Outside of Work
I have a cat named Oreo, born at the Aggieland shelter—he’s now 5 year old! He loves cuddles,tickles, and chicken dinner cans!
On weekends, I volunteer with the Rabbit Team at the San Jose Animal Shelter, helping care for adorable bunnies. Let me know if you’re thinking about adopting one!
