Hi, I’m Yufei! I am a BS/MS Computer Science student at the University of Washington. I’m incredibly fortunate to be working on core machine learning and natural language processing problems with Scott Geng and Prof. Pang Wei Koh. I’m also collaborating on distributed training for machine learning models with Megan Frisella in the SyFI Lab.

Previously, I’ve worked on large-scale systems and infrastructure projects as a Software Engineering Intern at LinkedIn and Amazon.

Alongside my studies, I love to teach! I am a teaching assistant for Machine Learning, where I help students deepen their understanding of algorithms, optimization, and real-world applications.

Outside of academics, I like to stay active and curious:

  • Ran three half marathons; training for an Ironman 70.3
  • Hacking away at side projects
  • Losing myself in Fredrik Backman novels that somehow make me laugh and cry on the same page

Most importantly, I always find time to spend with my loved ones, who remind me of how truly precious life is.
