Jianfei Yin

I am still actively writing code on the front lines of software development, including Python (neural network design, databases, cvx optimization, Django), C++ (network protocols), and Java (teaching), all with the enthusiastic assistance of Claude Code, of course.

So, 

===== Although my abilities are limited: I am currently primarily recruiting professional master's students in Computer Technology and Artificial Intelligence, hoping to provide some assistance in helping students realize their dreams. ======
