Summary
Jingze Zhang is a Machine Learning Engineer and PhD candidate in Computational Science based in Palo Alto with eight years of experience applying Bayesian methods and contrastive learning to natural language tasks. Currently at Tinder, he blends research-grade expertise in NLP and probabilistic modeling with production ML engineering, having also taught and developed data-science curricula at FSU. His academic work includes variational inference for Indian Buffet Processes, topic-model visualization, and language style analysis using embeddings—skills that inform practical solutions for text-style identification and transfer. Comfortable across Python, numerical methods, and parallel computing, he brings a strong mathematical foundation and a track record of moving models from research prototypes into applied systems. An understated strength is his breadth of teaching and tooling experience, from course design to department-wide technical support, which helps him communicate complex ideas clearly to engineers and stakeholders.
