Computational Designer | Software Engineer | Maker
M.S. in Computational Design @ Carnegie Mellon University
Trained in architecture at Tsinghua University, Beijing China and computational design at Carnegie Mellon University, PA, USA. I work where software engineering meets AI and real-world data. I design and ship scalable ML and vision systems—robust pipelines, service-based deployments, recommender models, and generative tools—that improve design quality, coordination, and decision-making across the AEC lifecycle. My goal is practical, reliable AI that delivers measurable impact in production.
