FEATURED WORK

Selected Projects

Taking ideas from research prototypes to full-scale production, with measurable gains in model quality, computational efficiency, and business outcomes.

Long-Context
Modeling

LONG CONTEXT · EFFICIENT ATTENTION

Foundation Model for Generative Recommendation

Designed a Transformer/HSTU-based long-context model for long-range dependencies, interest exploration, and long-tail behavior in recommendation sequences. Introduced variable-length Flash Attention and dynamic batching to reduce padding overhead.

Pre-training

PRE-TRAINING · SCALING · LARGE-SCALE TRAINING

Foundation Model: Zero to Production

Led a seven-person team in building the full data, modeling, training, evaluation, and deployment pipeline. Scaled dense models to 4B parameters, sparse models to over 100 trillion parameters, and training context to 110K tokens.

LLM POST-TRAINING · USER UNDERSTANDING

Explicit User Profiles for Cold Start

Built an end-to-end pipeline from user signals through LLM-based interest reasoning and label generation to downstream retrieval. Applied chain-of-thought prompting, few-shot learning, and Qwen3-based knowledge distillation to improve new and low-activity user experiences.
