A LITTLE CONTEXT
During university, I explored public administration, finance, and accounting, and I'm now focused on coding practice—full-stack development, machine learning, and agent development. I'm still exploring where my interests and strengths truly lie.
I've tried my hand at many hobbies along the way, but reading, drawing, and traveling remain my favorites—especially the joy and sense of accomplishment that comes from creating something.

Undergraduate major in Public Administration, a field situated at the intersection of political science, management, and law. Thesis explored a novel approach to public administration theory through machine learning—drawing on a European cross-national social survey dataset of approximately 39,000 samples, identifying the optimal model to systematically predict the mechanisms influencing political efficacy.
A LITTLE HISTORY
I'm originally from Hubei, and grew up in a small town along the Yangtze River before college—home to what I'm convinced is the best breakfast in the world ：)
My years studying in Chongqing were a bit of a whirlwind. I passed 7 papers of the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and took part in finance training programs and internships, but eventually realized it wasn't the career path I wanted. I gave public administration a try too, and didn't feel drawn to pursue it further either—so toward the end of university, I started planning to study abroad. Through an unexpected turn of events, I was admitted to the National University of Singapore, which is how I ended up pivoting into computer science.
Turns out coding is a lot more complex than I expected—and with AI advancing so fast these days, a lot of things are becoming easier, yet somehow more uncertain too. I still don't know exactly where I'll end up, but I'm grateful to have family and my girlfriend who've stuck by me through it all.
