> IEOR + EECS at UC Berkeley | Building AI-powered products

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/kaizhao1

UC Berkeley IEOR student pursuing software engineering. I build user-facing tools and ship prototypes into real products—especially in AI workflows where you have to turn models into usable product features.

Creator of Mousefit Studio, a computer-vision-based mouse fitting tool that measures hand specs, analyzes grip, and recommends mice using a local recommender system and custom segmentation models. Built for pc gamers.

I enjoy building end-to-end: product logic, frontend UI & backend services. Profolio: lanbodikai.com
