Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShiqi Yu is a software developer with 11 years of practical experience spanning full-stack web work, teaching, and machine learning engineering, now based in Chengdu and currently at Huawei. A University of Waterloo CS graduate with a Computational Fine Arts option, Shiqi blends strong C++ and backend skills with front-end experience from React.js and Node.js projects. He has contributed educational C/C++ materials used for university courses and implemented training pipelines for face-detection models, demonstrating both pedagogy and hands-on ML optimization. Past roles include web programming at Ubisoft and full-stack development at SavvyPro Edu, where he also taught Bash and C++ to students. Notably, his open-source work includes refining C++ lecture code and improving model training scripts by reorganizing iterators and fixing learning-rate bugs—small changes that materially improved clarity and performance. This mix of teaching, production engineering, and ML tuning makes him comfortable moving between codebases, curricula, and model training workflows.

Mar 2020 - Oct 2021
The training program for libfacedetection for face detection and 5-landmark detection.
Role in this project:ML Engineer
ML EngineerContributions:19 commits, 5 PRs, 13 pushes in 1 year 8 months
Contributions summary:Shiqi primarily contributed to the training program for face detection and landmark detection models. Their work involved optimizing the training process by moving the batch iterator outside the training loop, fine-tuning model weights, and fixing bugs related to learning rate updates. They also made changes to the training script, including moving configuration files and making the code cleaner and shorter.
