Yihui He is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer II with a decade of experience building end-to-end AI systems, from research and distributed training to real-time model deployment across backend and web frontends. Trained at Carnegie Mellon and with a strong computer vision research record (≈5k citations), he has shipped large-scale self-supervised video models at Meta, real-time multimodal video features and WebGL deep-learning tooling at Headroom, and now tackles production ML at Cruise. He combines deep research chops—epipolar-transformer keypoint work and channel-pruning speedups—with hands-on engineering, maintaining a popular GitHub presence and contributing practical web crawlers and tools. Comfortable across Kubernetes, PyTorchVideo and WebGL, he specializes in turning cutting-edge vision models into scalable, low-latency services. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends academic rigor with product-minded delivery and a knack for squeezing performance from models in real deployments.

Contributions summary:Yihui's primary focus was on developing a web crawler project using Python. They implemented a core Python script (`fuckCTF.py`) that interacts with a website. Subsequent commits involved updates and bug fixes, including modifications to the login process and password handling. Furthermore, the user added scripts to download data from other websites (`one_update.py`, `baidu_sy_img.py`, `get_history_weather.py`, `get_tj_accident_info.py`, `get_top_sec_com.py`, `student_img.py`) demonstrating the project's ability to interact with and retrieve data from different sources.
