I’m a Y3 Mathematical Sciences undergraduate specialising in Applied Mathematics, with academic interests in Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Quantitative Analysis. My education has honed my ability to think critically and strategically to solve complex problems.

I was an AI Engineer Intern at the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), where I single-handedly developed its first full-stack chatbot using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Designed for in-house use, it functioned as a chat-based PDF management system, enabling interaction with domain-specific research papers through selectable LLMs and flexible search scope options with cited answers. This improved researchers’ efficiency and addressed challenges in context extraction, data privacy, and customisation unmet by mainstream LLM solutions.

Looking forward, I am seeking internship opportunities in AI/ML Engineering and Quantitative Finance to apply my skills to innovative industry projects.

Fun Facts

I was a competitive state representative athlete in kickboxing and wushu at the national level for 5 years. I am passionate about extreme sports like tricking and parkour, which demand agility and explosive stunts. Besides, I find joy in cycling and hiking, particularly when navigating challenging terrains.
