At The University of Southern California,

• Completed Master of Science in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) with high GPA in 1.5 year while spending 0.5 year at ASML

At SS8 Networks Inc. ,

• Completed half year internship with hands on experience with company projects involving Legal Intercepting Software.

• Done scripts simulating, generating, capturing RADIUS traffic, simulating router CLI, server management and deployment in RHEL.

At The Ohio State University,

• Being student instructional assist for CSE 2431 System II: Operating Systems for two semesters across 4 sections.

• Completed various practices during course works at OSU with five dean’s list qualifications and an overall/major GPA of 3.72/3.84

• Participating in the Cincinnati Zoo’s project designing and building automatic RFID involved feeding scheduling and information recording system. In particular, designed, developed and deployed the physical system hosting on many Raspberry Pi 4s interpreting instructions and data from multiple RFID antenna and backend server, executing tasks to multiple feeders, recording to internal database while automatically maintaining system autonomy and integrity even if server is disconnected or file is corrupted. Also responsible for creating a docker container for easy deployment hosting a Django server and database created by teammates.

• Participating in a project at OSU creating a containerized IOT honeypot and gathering hacker data via hidden loggers. Responsible for creating loggers gathering data from the docker container and KVM and storing them to a hidden secure database. Also responsible for renting and setting up the Kernel Virtual Machine we are using as well as the docker environment for the simulated IOT device.

• Practice hardening and defending operating systems at OSU VMWare environment from other students during information security project course.

• Created a script for easily retrain a GPT-2 model using provided text library for generating text from prompt during speech & language processing.

At Suzhou Snail Digital Technology Co., Ltd,

• Software developer intern for a summer

• Developed a webpage-based client doing only Peer to Peer instant messaging app for internal communications within the company.

At Laser Additive Manufacturing Lab at Suzhou University 

• Software Research intern for a summer

• Participated in a project experimented with the Directed Energy Deposition (DED) method for rapid metal prototyping (commonly known as Metal 3D printing). It uses sustained high-power laser beam and metal powder jet to achieve rapid manufacturing of high strength alloy metal prototypes).

• Helped to develop an online CCD-observing system that monitors pool status at the depositing site.

• RADIUS Traffic Simulator – At SS8 Networks Inc.

It consists a server and multiple clients running freeRADIUS. They will use scripts I wrote to simulate legit RADIUS traffic complete with client ID and mock traffic data. Traffic is then captured using wireshark and replayed on our test network to test our product before handing over to customer. Project have information specific to customer and stored in company database thus no links here.

Skills involved: Python; WireShark; FreeRADIUS

• NOKIA VSIM CLI INTERFACE – AT SS8 NETWORKS INC.

This is a CLI interface completely written in python in order to simulate the NOKIA VSIM interface for their high performance routers. Our company product will interact (SSH into) with such interface and configure parameters and targets in it. I was tasked to create such a simulated interface so we can test functionality of our product. Interface completely written in python and will give desired output when given input. Able to function standalone and running in Docker container and able to function as a interface over SSH. 

Also able to store configured data in csv for verification. Program uses stacked folder structure and multiple standalone scripts to simulate bizarre behavior of said interface. Project have customer information and stored on company server thus no links here

Skills involved: Python

• HUNGARY ELEPHANT – CAPSTONE COURSE AT OSU

As described above in experience section, an automated complex trigge feeder system was developed

Skills involved: Python; Django; Raspberry Pi; systemd
