About me

Hi there, my name is Jay. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and I graduated from UC Berkeley in Computer Science in 2024.

Alongside coding, my interests are:
- Road-trip
- Basketball
- Golf
- Tennis
- Music Composition

My industrial interests are in Software Engineering and Machine Learninging, because I like to use my CS knowledge to make life easier, you wouldn't be surprised by how software can provide conveniences to people. Machine Learning is also amazing as well, how can a camera recognize images, faces, objects, these are all contributed by Machine Learning algorithms.

My research interest is in Computational Biology. My previous research papers are in DNA repair and COVID-19 variants analysis. By getting helps from Machine Learning Algorithms, I can speed up a lot in the experiment stage than the traditional workflow. The prediction I made by applying the ML algorithms have a very high accuracy with the traditional experiement results.

My motto: "Keep Learning, Keep Focus, Keep Progressing"
