About Me
An aspiring Software Engineer, currently pursuing Master’s at Northeastern University in Seattle, enthusiastic about empowring culture with computer science.
Professional Introduction
Hello! I’m Yun, currently on the verge of completing my master’s degree in computer science at Northeastern University in Seattle, with a keen interest in pursuing a career as a back-end software developer. Over the past three years, I’ve immersed myself in the cultural heritage sector, fostering an appreciation for diverse cultures and values. To me, computer science serves as a powerful tool to achieve meaningful goals. One illustrative project involved collaborating with colleagues to analyze and visualize geographical data of heritage sites in China. After delving into the fundamentals of AI, I applied scikit to construct a model predicting the time period of a heritage site based on its geographical coordinates. My initial foray into back-end development involved creating a musical notation system that facilitates the addition of well-formatted musical notations through hand gestures drawn with a mouse. Presently, I’m expanding my skills by delving into Spring and database management, aiming to build a more robust back-end system and seamlessly integrate it with AI.

Why Statement
I am someone with a strong capacity for execution. Once an idea takes shape in my mind, I promptly transition into action. Fueled by abundant energy, I thrive on the creative process and often generate ideas that few may have considered. When a new concept captures my imagination, I eagerly immerse myself in the implementation process. I embrace the learning that comes from making mistakes, fostering a fearlessness that propels me forward.
I aspire to facilitate the transmission of culture as a back-end developer. Recognizing that the flourishing of cultural preservation and communication contributes to a better world, I believe this aligns seamlessly with the goals of your company. Consequently, my experience and skills are a strong match for the ethos of your organization.
Accomplish Stories
During my three-year tenure at a cultural preservation center, I played a pivotal role in enhancing cultural transmission through my creative endeavors. Recognizing the untapped potential of young individuals as a blue sea market for cultural conservation, I innovatively integrated cultural topics with news, series, and comics on social media. Initially met with resistance from some professionals who believed that heritage discussions should remain strict and separate from entertainment, I navigated these differing perspectives. After carefully balancing opinions and redesigning the strategy, I successfully improved the center’s social media account engagement, garnering a positive reputation among industry professionals.
Collaborating with former colleagues, I contributed to the design of an interactive map showcasing cultural heritage sites in China. Following my exploration into computer science, I delved into the field of artificial intelligence, acquiring foundational knowledge to construct a predictive model using scikit. Despite encountering numerous setbacks and failures, the outcome has shown incremental improvements. Committed to continuous refinement, I am steadfast in my pursuit of advancing these initiatives.
