Top 3 things about me!

Top 3 things about me!

AI-Driven Designer

Nearly all my projects center around AI. I’ve designed an AI solution recommendation engine for Google Cloud, built a workflow automation tool for a cognitive science-based AI market research startup, created an AI chatbot for Assurant, and developed an AI summarization system for TikTok......

A Problem-Solver Transitioning from Data Engineer to UX Design

Before transitioning into professional UX, I held B.S. in Mathematics (AI/ML) from UT Austin, leading data engineer projects, such as collaborating with an IBM engineer to develop a data pipeline that analyzed 160,000 rows of data of the Austin Animal Center, generating valuable data products.

When transitioning to UX, I kept this strong logical reasoning mindset, ensuring design decisions are data-driven. I also thrive in a rapidly evolving UX landscape where interdisciplinary skills are trending — I’m also actively exploring product management, prompt engineering, and sales strategy.

Collaborative Team Player

As a leader, I guide teams through complex problems with strong logical reasoning and strategic thinking. For instance, in the Google project, I clarified the scope with the client and designed key concepts for the final pitch. I also thrive in cross-functional collaboration, bringing together diverse perspectives to create comprehensive solutions.

As a normal contributor, I consistently deliver high-quality work, meet deadlines, and actively support teammates. In both roles, I’m known for being reliable, thoughtful, and fully committed to team success.

With an open mindset, a strong problem-solving skill, and collaborative approach, I drive innovation and execution from concept to delivery.

Out of Work, I like ……

Hiking! Exploring the beauty of nature is always a delightful adventure :)

Painting - there is a unique sense of peace in it for me.

As a K-pop enthusiast, I love practicing and creating dance videos with my crew!
