Xiao-Ying Zhuang (Pikas)

AI Engineer / Artist

  Taipei City, Taiwan

This is Pikas, a programmer of  AI / Machine Learning / Deep Learning, a maker of Mechatronics, and an artist with a major in Art & Design.

Graduated from National Taiwan University Biomechatronics Engineering Department, I'm not only interested in coding but also good at coding. As an engineer, I always work methodically and rationally. Meanwhile, I can present my opinion well through pictures and words as an artist, which makes me usually play the role of leader in many projects and events.

In 2022, I participated in the Embedded Machine Learning Development Workshop, which was run by the government and composed of Data Science, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Microcontroller Development, Tiny Machine Learning Edge Computing ... etc. I got the top 7% in the Kaggle competition (Titanic - Machine Learning from Disaster) during the lesson.

In 2023, I worked in Taiwan Mobile as an RPA engineer (intern) to automate administrative tasks and to automate the e-mail sending with screenshots of Elastic APM monitored data toward someone periodically. Besides, I learned a little bit about Google Cloud Platform, React, Kibana, and Elastic  APM as well.

In the future, I wish to be an excellent AI engineer since I'm passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems and make a positive impact on society.

Projects

OpenAI Convenient ChatBOT

I used ChatGPT-3.5 API to create a chatBOT on Colab. Chat records will be saved in "docx" format and stored in users' Google Drive folder, which makes it convenient to read on smartphones. Users can even send a chat record to a friend to continue that conversation seamlessly.

Mobile Game Hack: 4=10

Players in the mobile game called "4=10" have to use four given numbers and limited operators to create a calculation formula that equals ten. I wrote a program to get those answers and developed further games like "5=10", "4=100", "6=6"...etc.

Multi-Functional LINE Notify BOT

LINE Notify API was used on Colab to create a user-friendly interface, making it easier for individuals who are not proficient in coding to send messages, LINE stickers, and images through "LINE Notify". This can even be scheduled at a specified time.

Pneumonia Distinguishing AI

Multiple Deep Learning models (CNN) are ensembled to distinguish if an X-ray image of one's chest belongs to a pneumonia (bacterial/viral causes are classified) patient or a normal person.

Google Form Generator from Google Sheet via Apps Script

This project is designed for a traveling investigation to save friendships by checking everyone's habits and preferences. Lots of questions in the Google Sheet will be converted into a Google Form automatically.

Analyzing a Web Psychological Test

To find out the underlying logic of a web psychological test called "找找圈內人!" that was developed by the TAIWAN DESIGN EXPO '23 in New Taipei City, every possibility was tried via Selenium and recorded along with the corresponding result. The underlying logic was finally unveiled after analysis.
