Yueyang Zhongalso, Landy.

I work on efficient ML inference.

I’m an Electrical & Computer Engineering undergraduate at UW, interested in making models run more efficiently—and understanding the systems underneath.

A little background

Always curious
about what’s
underneath.

I’m drawn to the details that shape how a system behaves: where computation goes, how hardware constrains it, and what makes an implementation work.

Before UW, I studied at Rutgers. Along the way, I’ve worked on ML systems at Duke’s CEI Lab, supported students in calculus and physics, and helped build an embedded device.
