About
Hi, I'm Felix!
I'm an upcoming senior at the University of Michigan pursuing a BSE in Computer Science with a 4.0 GPA. I specialize in the intersection of Full Stack Engineering and Machine Learning, with a particular focus on architecting cloud-native infrastructure and building performant, production-ready AI services.
My expertise in web and systems architecture is centered on end-to-end scalability. I am currently developing Aniworks, a microservices platform using Next.js and Spring Cloud. By managing a distributed ecosystem with Netflix Eureka and a comprehensive AWS stack (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront), I bridge the gap between complex backend logic and high-performance frontend delivery.
In the AI/ML space, I am driven by the challenge of engineering robust training and inference pipelines. Whether I am fine-tuning Vision Transformers (ViTs) for CV tasks or developing predictive models for clinical data, my goal is to build the underlying infrastructure that makes ML deployment scalable. This includes optimizing deep learning pipelines for edge hardware like NVIDIA Jetson and implementing low-latency communication protocols like ROS2 and Cyclone DDS.
I thrive on solving multi-disciplinary engineering problems that require a mastery of the full software stack. From designing automated data extraction pipelines to configuring secure, high-uptime cloud environments with Docker and Nginx, I am motivated by building technical solutions that are both computationally efficient and ready for real-world production scale.
