I am a Master's student in Software Engineering at Ontario Tech University, and an enthusiastic researcher introducing LLMs to realize interactable fictional characters. I have built foundational skillsets to develop AI and continue my studies to deepen my understanding of Machine Character Entities.
Right now I'm focused on:
- Developing autonomous AI Agents using Python and LLM orchestration to realize interactable fictional characters.
- Achieving seamless real-time responses by fine-tuning Llama models for specific personas.
- Creating real-time systems mapping Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) to facial animations of virtual avatars (EmoAvatar).
- Translating complex AI safety requirements into technical specifications and integrating XAI standards for transparency.
- I am currently pursuing my Master of Engineering in Software Engineering at Ontario Tech University (September 2025 - Current).
- I hold a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Computer Science from Ontario Tech University and an AI Diploma from Centennial College.
- I mentored 100+ undergraduate students in core CS concepts as a Teaching Assistant, collaborating to standardize grading rubrics and provide unique feedback.
- During my software requirement engineering internship, I worked in an agile team to optimize documentation for a 30k+ DAU SaaS platform.
- I speak English, Japanese, and Chinese, and have formal skills in logical problem solving, data analysis, and thesis writing.
Building interactable fictional characters and autonomous AI agents, one fine-tuned model at a time.
