Yuang Liu is a software engineer and MS Computer Science candidate at Boston University with six years of coding experience across Java, Python, and C and a strong foundation in object-oriented design. He has delivered measurable product improvements in industry internships—boosting blog recommendation engagement by combining TF-IDF, RNNs, CNN spam filters, and later replacing Bi-LSTM with BERT for a further uplift—and has shipped substantial codebases in academic projects. On open-source, he contributed performance-focused enhancements to the PaddlePaddle core and inference demos, adding mixed-precision and TensorRT GPU support to accelerate model inference. Comfortable working in teams of varied sizes, he pairs practical engineering with machine learning expertise to turn research models into production-ready systems.
