about me.

I'm Yihan — a student at USC studying Computer Engineering and Computer Science, currently splitting my time between coursework and building things that probably should've taken twice as long.

I like building real things. I've shipped a tax-filing portal for 2,000+ clients, a chess club management system for 1,000+ members, and a cafe operations platform that won a traction award. Lately I've been going deep on agentic AI and reinforcement learning — systems that don't just respond, but act, adapt, and learn.

I am multifaceted. I draw and paint, play piano and tenor saxophone, shoot photos when the light's right, and play badminton competitively enough to take it personally when I lose.

I build things that work and things that matter. Ideally both.
