Data Scientist with 8 years of experience based in Beijing, specializing in distributed deep learning infrastructure and optimizer development. As a backend and ML engineer, contributed core optimizer implementations (LARS, LAMB) and distributed strategy integrations to the widely used PaddlePaddle framework, plus testing and 3D training support for large models. Also authored and improved technical documentation for distributed features like sharding, recompute-offload, and hybrid parallelism, bridging engineering and user-facing guidance. Comfortable navigating framework internals to deliver both production-ready code and clear developer-facing docs — a practical engineer who pairs low-level systems work with an eye for explainability.

Contributions:688 reviews, 74 commits, 456 PRs in 2 years 5 months
Contributions summary:JZ-LIANG implemented and integrated the Lars and Lamb meta-optimizers within the PaddlePaddle framework, focusing on optimizing distributed deep learning models. They added configurations for these optimizers in the distributed strategy, enabling their use within distributed training setups. Furthermore, the user contributed to the testing suite, ensuring the correct application and behavior of the new optimization methods, and included the code related to the 3d training of bigtables. This involved modifying existing files and adding new files, demonstrating a strong understanding of the framework's internals and optimization techniques.
