Tianyu (Jack) Li 李天宇
Incoming MCDS @ CMU | B.Sc. SUSTech | Visiting @ UC Berkeley
I am an incoming Master of Computational Data Science student at Carnegie Mellon University (Fall 2026), and a senior undergraduate in Data Science and Big Data Technology at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).
My interest lies in machine learning engineering — from building production-ready model serving pipelines to research in neural representations and multimedia understanding. My background spans computer vision and NLP, with growing interest in multimodal and speech applications. I am actively seeking MLE internship opportunities for Summer 2027.

Interests
Outside of work, I am an avid volleyball and tennis player — competing
in university tournaments and following the sport closely. I draw inspiration
from the precision and court intelligence of players like
Simone Giannelli
and Ishikawa Yuki.
I also enjoy travelling and fitness, aiming to have a balanced life.
