Summary
Yuan Cheng is a University of Michigan senior majoring in Computer Science with eight years of hands-on experience across full-stack engineering, AI model training, and data analysis. She has built scalable, production-grade systems—from a Spring Boot + Vue streaming platform with resumable uploads, RocketMQ pipelines, and WebSocket danmaku to LangChain-based RAG agents and FAISS/Chroma retrieval—delivering measurable throughput, latency, and recall improvements. Her work spans practical ML preprocessing and defect detection for manufacturing, security-minded backend engineering, and automation that cut routine workloads by up to 78%. Comfortable in both research and product settings, she combines rigorous data-driven evaluation with UX-focused frontend work and a knack for reducing operational costs (e.g., token savings, deduplication). Based in Ann Arbor and active in AI research at Zhipu.AI, she’s particularly interested in applying robotics-inspired systems thinking to real-world ML and software problems.
