WORK EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant

Thermal Control Lab, New Energy Center in NTU

Sep 2015 – Aug 2017

•    Promoted a 21% increase in energy generation in 2016 through the solar PV system (C++) using the One-Axis Maximum Power Generation (1AMPG) tracker installed in an average household

•    Replaced 31.8% of energy consumption with the Hybrid PV System (C++) installed at the ME department building

•    Improved and extended the Si-Pb battery life to 500 cycles with a better state of health still achieve 95% by self-designed charge and discharge with pulsating direct current which max till 36A (via C++/ VB).

personal projects

Mini Instagram: Django Full-Stack Web Application

•    Designed the front-end interface using HTML, CSS, JavaScript allowing users to either follow/unfollow other users, make posts, and the ability to view posts as an overview or in detail

•    Created an asynchronous function through Ajax allowing users to like/dislike and/or comment on posts in real-time; increased web security with verification services such as authentication and authorization

•    Developed a back-end structure modeled after the MVC pattern on Django in Python; achieved data persistence on the platform by interacting with SQLite

News Collaborative Recommendation System

•    Analyzed legacy public media data for the last 20 years with various NLP models (word2vec and BERT) via TensorFlow, implemented data vectors to train the recommendation system module

•    Improved the accuracy rate of the prediction of users’ preference by 73% with the implementation of the DeepFM model on the system which feeds users the news according to their preference and reading history

•    Developed a recommendation system on the API Line chatbot; built a chatbot that is able to determine user preference and provide relevant information

Recipe Books: Angular Single Page Web Application

•    Implemented a single page web using Angular routers to change web page, elevating user experience; designed an observer pattern using RXJS that allows users to view a live update when either making new recipes or modifying the shopping list

•    Enabled users to fetch and modify data from Firebase via RESTful HTTP requests after passing the authentication feature

•    Optimized the web application with separated feature modules to approach the lazy-loading and preloading strategy

Course Registration: Single Page Full-Stack Web Application

•    Designed the web UI on an Angular framework using HTML, CSS, TypeScript; created a front-end interface with the ability for users to identify individuals through permission levels, such as admin, developer, or user

•    Developed the back-end based on the MVC pattern via the Spring framework; optimized data retrieval of controllers when notifying specific servers to fetch or modify data from MySQL according to CRUD requests and return the data in JSON format

•    Managed the front-end with Yarn and back-end with Maven; boosted project’s versatility to operate in different environments

User To-do List: Django Full-Stack Web Application

•    Designed the front-end interface using HTML, CSS, JavaScript allowing users to either create their to-do list, complete the to-do list, and the ability to mark it as important or leave the detail

•    Increased web security with verification services such as authentication and authorization

•    Developed a back-end structure modeled after the MVC pattern on Django in Python; achieved data persistence on the platform by interacting with SQLite

To-do List: Task Management Application

•    Constructed a personalized task management application compatible with Windows and macOS using the MVC structure allowing users to create and organize to-do lists

•    Implemented a general command line parser to process user input and a dynamic filter patterned after Builder and Factory designs

•    Improved code coverage by 94% through 114 tests in collaboration with 2 teammates using Git to manage code versions

Music Notation: Drawing Tool and Gesture Recognition

•    Created a Java GUI application for users to train the system using gestures (e.g. draw, undo, save) or produce musical notes

•    Utilized data serialization and deserialization mechanism to store and retrieve trained gestures efficiently

•    Enhanced effectivity in capturing points and scales of new gestures and comparing stored gestures in the database by pattern recognition

Othello: Game Design

•    Improved user experience by creating the user interface and providing game board customization through Processing (IDE)

•    Established an initial setup for the game controller to automatically switch user control; laid out a command to place and flip disks accordingly, display scores in real-time, and update the leader board
