Half Logic,
Half Imagination

I grew up in China and left home at eighteen — first to Toronto, then to New York. Somewhere along that route, moving between languages and cities became less a fact about my life and more a way of seeing: from the outside, a little sideways, always half-translating.

On paper I'm a computer science person. In practice I've never quite fit the mold — I read novels between proofs, wander galleries the way other people scroll, and think an INFJ's quiet attention to what people actually feel is an engineering skill, not a distraction from one.

What pulls me is the seam where AI meets everything else. I work on the algorithms behind large language models, but the question underneath is human: can we build systems that genuinely understand people and make their lives lighter? When I'm not chasing that, you'll probably find me deep in a round of TFT or building something needlessly elaborate in Minecraft — the same itch to plan, arrange, and see it come alive.
