about me
I like computers!- My fav tech: C++, CUDA, Python, PyTorch, Linux, ML compilers, LLMs, Rust, WebGPU and TypeScript
- I want to be a full time research scientist and work on the intersection of math, AI and low-level systems
- I like math and I try to find time every week to learn something new. I'm currently slowly working through the "How to prove it" by Daniel Velleman (basic math undergrad book)
- I'm a regular author for Paged Out! magazine, which is a cool nerdy zine for things like hacking, programming and everything computer-related
- My name is spelled as yenjay in English and 延杰 in Chinese
-
Night job:
- Research - LLMs, ML systems
- tiny-vllm - High performance LLM inference engine in C++ and CUDA, a younger sibling of vLLM, with continuous batching and paged attention
- torch-webgpu - PyTorch compiler and WebGPU runtime
- Day job: Applying LLMs to things c:
