Jan 2020 - Oct 2022
Productive, portable, and performant GPU programming in Python.
Role in this project:
Full-stack Developer
Full-stack DeveloperContributions:17 releases, 1767 reviews, 422 commits in 2 years 10 months
Contributions summary:Ye implemented a 2D fluid simulation example using Taichi, demonstrating the development of a physics-based simulation. They added core functionality for PBF (Position Based Fluids) including particle initialization, boundary constraints, neighbor finding, and pressure calculations. This contribution showcases their ability to translate a scientific concept into a functional, visual simulation using the Taichi framework. The user also made modifications adding metal data types.

TiDB - the open-source, cloud-native, distributed SQL database designed for modern applications.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:8 commits, 10 PRs, 33 comments in 28 days
Contributions summary:Ye implemented vectorized evaluation for several functions related to the `TiDB` database, including `builtinIsIPv4Sig`, `builtinLogicOrSig`, `builtinLogicXorSig`, `builtinUnaryNot` series functions, and `builtinBitXorSig`. They also refactored the `builtinRegexpSig` to remove duplicate code. Their contributions focused on optimizing the performance of the database's query execution engine by leveraging vectorized operations.
