Work Experience
Shopee Shopee Information Technology Co., Ltd.
2025.07 - Present
Ads Algorithm Engineer
  • PGMV Model: Consolidated separate regional models into a unified model, reducing maintenance overhead. Introduced query-item interaction features, optimized the model architecture, and removed dependency on organic pCR (org_pcr, an upstream prediction score), enabling a full rollout across all regions. Refined the definitions of price and sold_cnt features to improve prediction accuracy.

  • Uplift Model: Developed a multi-treatment coupon uplift model based on DragonNet. Applied FiLM to incorporate merchant/platform voucher context features and item-level price-effect sensitivity features. Further upgraded voucher cost estimation to a dispatch-to-redeem modeling framework, improving the offline voucher_cost PCOC from approximately 0.6 to 0.9.

Research Experiences
UESTC NDSL Research Intern, Network and Distributed Systems Laboratory, UESTC
2024.03 - 2024.08
Mixed Precision LLS Solver on Tensor Cores (Supervisor: Prof. Shaoshuai Zhang, Collaborator: Gaoyuan Zou)
  • Explored mixed-precision algorithms to solve high-precision linear least squares on Tensor Cores; analyzed singular-value distributions to address convergence on ill-conditioned matrices.
  • Implemented double-blocking TSQR with JIT kernels and achieved up to 2.2× speedup over cuSOLVER for FP64 QR decomposition; overall solver up to 26× speedup on favorable matrices.
  • Trained a 2-layer LSTM on 15,000 matrix instances to classify matrix types and select robust solver strategies (99.6% classification accuracy).
Purdue Research Intern, Elmore Family School of ECE, Purdue University (Remote)
2024.06 - 2024.08
Retrieval-Augmented Clinical Predictions (Supervisor: Prof. Haoyu Wang, Collaborator: Xun Song)
  • Installed and indexed MIMIC-III/IV datasets and developed retrieval pipelines using LLMs for RAG-enhanced clinical prediction.
  • Designed a BERT-based classification algorithm and LLM summarization strategies to reduce token overflow and improve performance.

Project Experiences
KRR Project Image Knowledge-Driven Visual Association Search System — KRR Course Project (UESTC)
2023.12 - 2024.01
  • Built cross-modal retrieval using BLIP and CLIP, implemented a web interface and demonstrated robust retrieval performance.
DeBERTa Project Image Score an Essay Using DeBERTa — Statistical Learning Course Project (UESTC)
2023.09 - 2023.11
  • Developed an automated essay scoring pipeline using DeBERTa; applied AdamW, CosineAnnealingWarmRestarts, and K-fold CV; achieved MCRMSE=0.4492 on Kaggle.
