I studied language from both sides — English and software engineering at Sichuan University, then computational linguistics at the University of Washington. My interests live where the two meet: NLP, large language models, and the unglamorous, load-bearing parts of language engineering.

Born in Xinjiang, raised on a diet of wind, dust, and existential questions.

This site is where notes, experiments, and essays that don’t fit anywhere else drift to rest.
