I am addicted to creating cutting-edge applications, thinking about future societies and technologies, and understanding how human intelligence works through computer vision.
I was a TA for a year in a well-known machine learning course attended by more than 1,000 people each semester.
I like to devise ways to increase my productivity and I actively try out new tools.
I develop mainly on Linux, e.g. Ubuntu.
I got a minor in mechanical engineering as an undergraduate, but I am still learning.
I have one friendly Maltese and one lovely Ragdoll-Siamese mix.
Set up vista, a community for mutual progress management, with my best friend in 2020 and still running it.
Books that rethink everyday life in a scientific way or give me time for philosophical speculation.
I love learning languages, travelling to new places and connecting with new people. I am learning English, Chinese and Vietnamese (my wife is Vietnamese).
Exercise is a good companion that energises me and boosts my productivity. I was captain of the Spartan Race Club in my university.
