Turning data into decisions. AI Researcher Intern in Taiwan. Researching federated vector search. Evaluating LLMs with LLM-as-a-judge. Building AI for stroke rehab.

I turn messy data into models that matter — from GoFood query recommendations at GoTo to federated vector search research in Taiwan.

Where I've worked

AI research in Taiwan, data science at GoTo, and the developer community I led.

Oct 2026 – present · Chiayi, Taiwan · TEEPNow

AI Researcher Intern · National Chung Cheng University

Researching learning-based federated vector search: predicting per-client retrieval quotas and HNSW efSearch so a single round retrieves the global top-K across distributed clients, without moving raw data. Implemented FedAvg training and zero-shot onboarding for new clients in PyTorch and FAISS, with FedVS and FedOS as baselines.

Sept 2025 – Mar 2026 · Remote · Jakarta

Data Scientist Intern · GoTo Group

Lifted GoFood search query recommendation effectiveness from 74% to 92% by validating and labelling complex query data. Evaluated 300+ prompts for the Sahabat AI Safety Benchmark with an LLM-as-a-judge framework, and evaluated Dira, the customer-service chatbot, for safety, factual correctness and contextual relevance.

Aug 2025 – Aug 2026 · Makassar

Lead · Google Developer Group on Campus Unhas

Led a community of 900+ student developers and organised 30+ events, workshops and Study Jams, adding new learning tracks and industry partnerships.

Aug 2023 – 2027 (expected) · Makassar

Informatics Engineering · Hasanuddin University

GPA 3.83/4.00. Data scientist (evaluation) on the university's AI chatbot team: evaluated LLM responses for accuracy, relevance and safety, built Llama Guard-based safety checks, and ran data annotation and QA.

Things I've built

From pose tracking for stroke rehab to retrieval research. Open any card for the case study.

Featured · Undergraduate thesis

MoveAgain

A PWA for post-stroke rehabilitation: MediaPipe measures range of motion in real time, a Bayesian survival model predicts time to recovery, and an AI chatbot guides each exercise.

Retrieval · Research

Multimodal RAG

Text + image retrieval over 214 university PDFs, so the chatbot reads the original diagram, not a caption of it.

US Flight Delays

1,059,040 U.S. flights from Jan–Feb 2026: delays cascade through the day and are driven by carriers, not weather. Gradient Boosting flags delayed flights at ROC-AUC 0.65.

X-Ray Enhancement

Unsharp masking and morphological top-hat transforms built from scratch in NumPy, with PSNR and SSIM implemented by hand to measure each trade-off.
