Working / Research Experience

Lutron / Ucfunnel / CCU Machine Vision and Learning Lab / Viscovery

Software Engineer Intern
- Constructing a notification system (email, text, and push) with GO onto the AWS cloud services.

Data Scientist
- Constructed a CI/CD pipeline for all ads’ model predictions and evaluations by using Docker, Airflow, Jenkins, and Rancher to deploy the whole workflow automatically and to better perform AB model testing.
- Increased 41% of the ads’ winning rate prediction and tripled the overall ads’ click-through rate from 0.04% to 0.12% by filtering out biased data, adjusting features, revising ROC curve’s threshold, and implementing RUS with Python and Golang at the local workspace and the back-end DMP.
- Built an automated testing system to ensure all features extracted at local correspond to the online server.

Laboratory Intern
- AI City Challenge Project: Utilizing Cycle GAN to make the generator separately train five different directions of car motion via large datasets with different brands and 10,000 distinct cars , thereby stimulating the generator to mimic and produce a new style of car with five different directions of motion.
- Writing Calligraphy with Robotic Arm Project: Utilizing Cycle GAN to make a robotic arm learn a dataset with numerous characters written in the slender gold and semi-cursive scripts; by labeling the strokes of the characters , the robotic arm can write them with more accurate strokes.

System Programmer
- Programmed and optimized a facial recognition system for the National Intercollegiate Athletic Games (with about 7,500 competitors) using OpenCV and implementing Flask to transmit and display predictions from backend to frontend using the JSON format.
- Designed and arranged the user interface on the frontend website with OpenCV, HTML, and CSS.

Computer Vision Intern
- Programmed a facial recognition system for the company to predict the user’s gender, age, and facial expressions through Caffe, Keras, and OpenCV; connected the source code onto the corporation’s private GitLab and its server.
- Optimized the response time (less than 1s) and the accuracy (about 70%) to predict gender, age, and facial expression of the facial recognition system.

Undergraduate Student
- Used WGAN-GP and image processing to create a generative adversarial network model to do fashion design.
- Fetching men’s fashion clothing from the Internet by Python (web crawling).
