Intern, Assistant Bioinformatics Researcher at Beijing Genomics Institute

August 31, 2023 - July 10, 2025

Extracted and parsed over 100,000 DNA/protein sequences from NCBI BLAST using Python with Biopython, Pandas, and NumPy for large-scale homology and sequence alignment analyses. Engineered a preprocessing pipeline to clean, deduplicate, and normalize sequence features for machine learning input, reducing feature noise by 18%. Applied Pearson correlation and hierarchical clustering to identify statistical associations between CRISPR-Cas subtypes, uncovering subtype-specific domain patterns. Visualized data with Matplotlib and Seaborn to aid model feature selection and interpretation. Conducted exploratory data analysis on sequence metadata to detect outliers and batch effects, improving data quality. Collaborated cross-functionally with modeling teams to improve classification accuracy by 10%, supporting subtype prediction with aligned biological features.

Intern, Front-End Developer at Innovation Business Department, Runjian Co., Ltd.

August 31, 2022 - July 10, 2025

Developed an interactive real-time dashboard using JavaScript (ECharts.js, D3.js), HTML/CSS, and RESTful APIs to visualize the operational status of over 500 tower assets. Parsed and structured JSON API data for KPI tracking with dynamic data binding enabling real-time updates and outage detection. Analyzed event logs and clickstream data utilizing Python (Pandas, Seaborn) to extract user behavior trends. Performed funnel analysis and user segmentation to identify interface bottlenecks, informing UI/UX improvements. Conducted A/B testing on visual layouts, achieving a 15% higher task completion rate among field engineers.
