@KillerQueen-Z·Andy Chen·📍 Los Angeles

Electrical Engineering M.S. @ USC. I work at the intersection of machine learning, NLP, and distributed systems — building intelligent systems that scale and figuring out how language models can talk to the real world without falling apart.

When the IDE is closed: Queen fan, gamer, anime-loving caffeine engine.

About

I'm an Electrical Engineering Master's student at the University of Southern California with a deep focus on the intersection of Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Distributed Computing.

My technical journey is driven by a passion for scaling intelligent systems and optimizing how Large Language Models interact with real-world data — from research on robust fine-tuning to building production infra for autonomous agents.

I'm equally happy reading a fresh arXiv paper at midnight, debugging CUDA kernels, or shipping TypeScript at 4 AM. Whatever the stack — if it touches AI and it's hard, I want in.
