Selected Project

Projects in Appier

Appier, Professional Service Team

March 2024 - June 2024 · Taipei, Taiwan

At Appier, I contributed to several innovative projects that enhanced user experience and showcased the power of AI in e-commerce. One of the key features I worked on was an image carousel, designed to provide users with an engaging visual experience while browsing products. Additionally, I was involved in the AI fitting UX redesign for the e-commerce shop, where we aimed to create a seamless and intuitive interface for customers even on mobile devices. I also participated in a proof of concept for a text-to-video AI virtual customer service solution, which demonstrated how AI can facilitate real-time interactions and improve customer engagement. These projects not only enriched my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of user-centered design in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

LLM Recommendation Search Ad Creation UX

Competitions

Domestic

2022 TSMC x Microsoft CareerHack Competition

1st Runner Up (Against 40+ teams from Taiwan)

January 2022 · Taiwan

I participated in the CareerHack, a hackathon jointly hosted by TSMC and Microsoft Taiwan, where the challenge was to harness machine learning and MLOps for energy-efficient data center management. Leading a team of four, my role was pivotal as we focused on optimizing data center cooling for eco-friendly computing. Our innovative concept involved leveraging the natural cool sea currents of the Taiwan Strait in conjunction with Azure Cloud Computing. We designed a system that used water pumping to facilitate heat exchange between the sea's chilly waters and the heat-intensive liquids in the data center, all while dynamically controlling the process with MLOps. We rigorously tested our hypotheses through simulations, demonstrating the feasibility of our approach and our commitment to sustainable data center solutions.
