About Me

AI engineer and photographer based in Taipei, Taiwan.

I'm a Computer Science graduate from National Taiwan Ocean University (Class of 2026). My most recent project, RiffNode — an AI guitar effects studio built entirely with native Apple frameworks — won the Apple WWDC26 Swift Student Challenge.

At ITRI I optimized real-time YOLO vision models for autonomous driving, and my capstone team built a deep-learning volleyball analytics platform. I love working across the stack — from on-device ML and audio DSP to React frontends — and turning complex problems into products people can actually use.

Beyond Code

Off the clock I captain my department's volleyball team, scuba dive, play guitar, and develop film as darkroom officer of NTU's photography club. Most of it ends up in front of a camera sooner or later — the results live on the Photography page.
