hello there.

I work in the vector space spanned by machine learning, data science, computer vision, and embedded systems. I've researched graph neural networks for crystal characterization in complex metal alloys, built machine learning systems for Taiwan's first digital unicorn startup, and developed cloud infrastructure to stream data from sensors deep in the mangrove forests of Mexico. In high school I led the team that won second place in the 2023 international Robocup and helped build the world's fastest unmanned electric boat. I enjoy questionable creative writing, science journalism, eating shredded rocks, and intaking caffeine in its many delicious forms.

I study at the {{ mitText }} (MIT), majoring in computer science and electrical engineering.

experience.

I've been fortunate to work alongside amazing people from research labs and startups and way too many build teams. I have experience in machine learning, cloud infrastructure, embedded systems, computer vision, and standard full-stack engineering; my most recent interests are in digital design and computer microarchitecture. Here are some of the groups I'm part of and some of the places I've been.

projects.

I make things that I think are functional, absurd, or make the world a slightly more interesting place.

coursework.

This spring semester, I'm taking:

contact.

I love building interesting things with cool people. The fastest way to get in touch with me is probably via Discord @conv2d (yes, I'm chronically online). If you'd like to be more formal, my email is jieruei [at] mit [dot] edu.

Resume/portfolio available on request.
