Circle Remote

Software Engineer Intern May 2024 – Aug. 2024

− Designed a solution for dynamically setting the priority fee on the Solana blockchain based on network traffic, resolving transaction blockage issues during network congestion, and reducing average transaction fees.

− Migrated library code and tests into EVM blockchain client applications to improve code quality and test coverage.

− Converted end-to-end tests into integration tests for EVM client applications to enhance the CI pipeline and avoid flaky tests. Wrote WireMock extensions to mock the API response in the integration tests. Houzz Remote

Software Engineer July 2021 – Aug. 2023

− Increased overall user growth by ~10% by implementing streamlined sign-up and sign-in flows using OAuth 2.0.

− Built an end-to-end automation testing framework with Cypress and integrated it into the CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, achieving 80% coverage to ensure feature reliability and robustness.

− Migrated the magic link sign-in service, leveraging Node.js and Apache Thrift, reducing the request time by 50%.

− Integrated backend APIs using PHP and Apache Thrift to populate the homefeed with personalized content to enhance the connection between consumers and home design service providers.

− Built over 20 dashboards on Grafana to monitor authentication services and collect statistical data. Oneplus Taipei, Taiwan

Software Engineer Intern July 2017 – Aug. 2017

− Initiated a research project to apply Hidden Markov Model in predicting the next 3 potential apps a user might open on the Android platform, providing on-screen suggestions accordingly.

− Programmed a web crawler using Selenium to extract metadata of 10,000+ Android apps from Google Play and App Annie.

− Utilized unsupervised machine learning algorithms to cluster photos, aiding in constructing a scene classification model. SELECTED PROJECTS

ERC-20 Fee-Sharing Token with UniswapV2 Integration

− Implemented an ERC-20 token with Solidity, integrated with UniswapV2, inspired by SafeMoon's revenue-sharing mechanism.

− Transfer Fee: Introduced a 5% fee on every token transfer, instantly redistributed to all token holders based on their holdings.

− Sell Tax on Uniswap: Enforced a 10% tax on each token sold on Uniswap: 5% for reinvesting into the Uniswap liquidity pool; the other 5% would be redistributed to token holders who locked their tokens.

− Token Locking Mechanism: Developed a token locking system with two durations (30 & 180 days) for enhanced fee-sharing. A longer lock period yielded triple revenue. Locked tokens had transfer restrictions until maturity. Movie Recommendation System

− Developed an intelligent movie recommendation system with Python, Pandas, and Scikit-learn, applying text retrieval and text mining techniques on a Netflix dataset to achieve personalized content discovery.

− Enhanced movie search capabilities using Hugging Face’s key phrase extraction pipeline. Utilized TF-IDF and cosine similarity for text-based recommendations.

− Built an interactive Streamlit web application with OMDB API, adjusting movie recommendations according to user feedback. Realty Price Prediction (Kaggle Competition)

− Collaborated with 1 classmate to predict realty prices in the Russian housing market, utilizing real-world datasets.

− Explored and evaluated multiple machine learning methodologies and identified gradient-boosting as optimal; subsequently implemented the prediction model using XGBoost.

− Achieved 2nd place among 53 teams in the Machine Learning course based on the model performance. ENGINEERING SKILLS
