About me -

My name is Jet Chiang. I like learning random stuff and spending most of my time on cool and novel projects. I devote most of my time to unique and cutting-edge (i.e. werid) ideas, with the vision of building technology that empower human flourishment. I split my time between open-source, academia, and industry in both SWE and applied ML.

Interests

I am passionate about machine learning and its growing applications in the software world and beyond. I’m also interested in areas like cognitive science, neuroscience, and robotics.

Currently, I’m working on:

Cloud native AI agents on Kubernetes @ Linux Foundation Mentorship, CNCF / Kagent
Democratizing SLM fine-tuning @ Google Summer of Code with Google DeepMind
Scientific machine learning in solar cell research @ National University of Singapore

Previously, I’m part of:

Making solar cell physics model 100,000x faster with neural emulation @ National University of Singapore
Developing agentic financial data extraction from multimodal sources @ Savi Finance
Building software and tests on indoor radio dots @ Ericsson
3 design teams acrosds quant finance, MLE, neurotech @ UofT Engineering

I love learning through side projects, hackathons (attended 9+ in 2025), and collaborative problem-solving. Hit me up if you have a cool project idea!

Outside of academics and work, I enjoy reading great works of classic literature and philosophy. Check out my Goodreads for my bookshelf. This is not up to date becasue I use my own Notion database, which unfortunately is not public.

Skills

I am proficient in machine learning, data science, full stack development, iOS development, software engineering, and system design engineering. Here are the technologies I am familiar with:
