Boyuan Gong is a data-driven software engineer with 9 years of experience applying Python, MySQL, web scraping, and ML techniques to real-world problems across aviation, academia, and open-source. He has improved air traffic data processing and surveillance performance through analytic tooling and system automation, and boosted data pipeline speed and accuracy in news-sentiment projects using Beautiful Soup and VADER. As an ML engineer contributor to the well-known AutoML project AutoKeras, he implemented and tested a TextRegressor including target transforms and unit tests, demonstrating an ability to ship production-quality model components. Boyuan pairs domain knowledge in air transportation with practical engineering skills to design operational improvements—such as departure procedures and schedule analyses—that tangibly increased efficiency. Based in the New York City area, he blends research-oriented rigor with hands-on coding and a track record of measurable impact. An unassuming detail: his background spans both policy-facing aviation advising and open-source ML engineering, a mix that helps translate complex data insights into operational decisions.
