About
AI Systems Engineer who turns LLMs, agents, and computer vision models into production software that makes or saves businesses money, with the backend, payments, and DevOps depth to ship the whole system, not just the model. Continuous AI work since 2020, MSc in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (NYCU, GPA 4.22/4.30), two peer-reviewed publications on edge AI, trilingual (English, French, Mandarin), based in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

AI Engineer
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) · Hsinchu, Taiwan
Applied research institute. UAV computer vision and vision-language model (VLM) workflows, from dataset curation to edge deployment.
- Built and shipped UAV-focused computer vision and VLM workflows end to end, from dataset curation to model evaluation and deployment.
- Developed an automated long-tail synthetic data pipeline that generates, validates, and version-tracks augmented samples with a gated, verification-first workflow.
- Deployed real-time inference services via APIs for internal integration, enabling repeatable evaluation runs and production-style testing.
Apr 2026 - Present
Lead Engineer (contract)
Business platform for a consulting firm (independent contract) · Remote
Full delivery of a multi-module business platform for a paying client, won through a competitive request for proposals. Client details confidential.
- Designed and built a NestJS + Next.js modular monolith (PostgreSQL, Redis, Prisma) with a plugin-style payment hub integrating mobile money and card aggregators.
- Implemented granular role-based access control, mandatory two-factor authentication, and a bilingual English/French product with mirrored i18n keys enforced in CI.
- Set up production operations: Traefik/Caddy routing, Grafana/Prometheus/Loki observability with alerting, WAL-streamed database backups to object storage with rehearsed restore drills.

Founder, AI Systems Engineer
CaveMind Labs · Hsinchu, Taiwan
Own venture: production-grade agentic AI and computer vision services.
- Built a self-hosted Private Agent Runtime that turns LLM workflows into reliable software: durable state, restart-safe execution, drift-resistant scheduling, real-time streaming via Server-Sent Events, notification routing, and a human acknowledgement (ACK) loop with a full audit trail.
- Integrated multi-model support (OpenAI and Gemini) behind a model-agnostic layer; used LLM semantic analysis to filter noise, summarize meaningful changes, and classify severity for monitoring use cases.
- Architected, developed, and deployed a service-oriented image and video restoration application serving multiple Vision Transformer (Uformer) models with VRAM-aware resource management and an intelligent cache (FastAPI backend, Next.js/React frontend, WebSockets, Docker images published on Docker Hub).
May 2025 - Jul 2025
AI Engineer
Juxin Digital Technology Co., Ltd. · Taiwan
- Developed and trained Vision Transformers (ViTs) for advanced low-light image and video enhancement.
- Optimized models for next-generation, low-latency performance on production hardware.
- Integrated the enhancement model into a multi-stage vision pipeline feeding a downstream instance segmentation model.
Apr 2024 - May 2025
Full-Stack Developer and AI Engineer
InsightMed Diagnostics · Hsinchu, Taiwan
- Independently architected and developed a full-stack ECG (electrocardiogram) labeling web application with real-time visualization, annotation, database management, and Docker containerization for reproducible deployment.
- Engineered the backend with Django and Django Channels for WebSocket-based real-time communication; built the interactive front end with Dash (Plotly), HTML, and JavaScript for manual annotation of P-waves, QRS complexes, and other key features.
- Implemented deep-learning-based automated time-series labeling with continual learning from domain-expert feedback.
