Profile

I am a third-year Computer Science and Design student at SUTD, currently based in Hangzhou for a year of exchange and startup work. I started out in cybersecurity and open-source intelligence, then followed the problems that held my attention longer: how machines see, how language models fail, and how to catch those failures before a user ever does. I have trained computer vision models at a Chinese AI startup, placed first on the private leaderboard of a Kaggle AI-generated text detection competition with a team of five, and I am building an evaluation tool that stress-tests LLMs the way a scrutineer checks a car before it leaves the garage. I want to be the AI engineer who ships the system and then proves it holds up.

Away from the keyboard I freestyle in hip hop battles, play basketball recreationally, and give most of what is left to motorsport. I race in sim, study race craft, and carry one long-term ambition outside of tech: to fund my own seat in a GT3 championship in Europe. The same instinct runs through all of it. Find the limit, work out why it is there, then move it.
