Currently senior software engineer working on Gemini

I was a software engineer at Lyft where I am on a mission to make people drive lyft safer.

Previously, I was a software engineer at VMWare. I have worked a product called Enterprise PKS, which enables enterprises and service providers to simplify the deployment and operations of Kubernetes clusters. More specifically,  I am working on building network infrastructure and configurations to support scalability, multi-tenancy and security of Kubernetes deployment and operation. And my currently tech stack includes Go, Python,  Shell Script.

Before that, I have had one year internship at Cisco mainly worked as frontend engineer, where I helped built several internal and external website as well as a widgets library which is still widely adopted.  the tech stack I was using is Javascript, React.

I got my master degree in Computer Science from Yale University. I got chance to do research on ML and NLP. And as one of the co-author, we published 2 papers in EMNLP which is a top conference in NLP fields.

I received my bachelor degree in Software Engineering from Zhejiang University, where I have received  national scholarship and graduated with highest GPA in my major.
