Summary
Yu-heng Lei is a Machine Learning Engineer with 11 years of experience building recommendation, information retrieval, and big data systems, currently working at Houzz after a prior ML role at Tubi (acquired by Fox). He holds two master’s degrees—including an MS from Carnegie Mellon—and strong academic foundations from National Taiwan University and National Tsing Hua University. His background spans productionizing personalization and advertising models in a streaming-video environment as well as research and applied ML roles in telecom and startups. Based in New Taipei, he returned to Taiwan in 2020 and is open to broader software engineering opportunities across Taipei City and Banqiao.
