About me
Born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan.
Currently, I am pursuing my passion for technology as a research student at the University of California, Berkeley. My academic focus lies at the intersection of machine learning and hardware engineering. My involvement with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as a Machine Learning Developer allowed me to design Python machine-learning models based on the NAS framework, significantly boosting the accuracy of finger-vein recognition systems.

Contact
I come from a family deeply rooted in banking, where precision and accountability were daily lessons. My grandfather, a former Air Force pilot who served during World War II, instilled in me a sense of dedication and resilience from a young age. My personal sanctuary has always been the great outdoors—hiking through Taiwan’s breathtaking landscapes and capturing scenic photographs that echo the beauty of nature.
