Hi! I'm Andy Wang
I am an aspiring software developer who is passionate about using their skills to improve the lives of others while also exploring and pushing my own limits. Currently, I am interested in doing fullstack development, AI, and ML in areas like the environment, biomedical fields, or any project which I believe can make a difference.
I'm currently a third year undergrad at UCLA. Throughout my time here, I've worked on several projects, with my most recent beingClubHouse, which helps UCLA students discover new clubs and rate clubs they're in!
When I'm not working, you can catch me grinding at the gym, enjoying video games, playing my piano, chefing up in the kitchen, getting shots up at basketball court, or scrolling through cat videos.
Feel free to reach out, I hope you have a great day! :D
Experience
•Engineered a multi-pass extraction pipeline using LangChain and GPT, clustering factors and running crafted prompts across 63 research papers to extract causal relationships with evidence
•Built a validation script that cleansed extracted PDF text, which is used to verify LLM generated excerpts verbatim against source documents
•Implemented batch processing with incremental backups, increasing error tolerance and allowing resume on failure across long API jobs
Python
LangChain
OpenAI API
•Utilized Google Earth Engine to predict soil and crop information, reducing manual data entry time by 30%
•Created a responsive, cross-platform interface with React Native, Leaflet.js and Google Maps API
•Architected a FastAPI backend using Supabase as a lookup table for chunked parcel data stored in Cloudflare R2, used Firebase for user authentication, and implemented query caching, improving retrieval speeds by 60%
