I am Yixuan Zhou.
I am currently a senior at University of California San Diego.
I double major in Computer Science and Engineering and Mathematics with an emphasis on Probability and Statistics.
After graduation, I will start my full-time position at Stripe next summer in Seattle.
Aside of my school work, I interned as a software engineer at Bentley Systems Inc in summer 2021.
Also, during the school year, I was a part-time analyst at
Golden Set Analytics
in which I build models to predict the result of tennis matches.
What's more, I am the head tutor of the class
Baisc Data Structure and Object-Oriented Design,
where I help Professor Gary Gillespie
to design course assignments and guide students in improving code correctness,
efficiency of algorithm implementation, and performance.
June 2021 - September 2021
I have finished my internship, and I will write more about it later...
February 2021 - June 2021
I am using Markov process to model the evolution of a tennis game. Based on the elo rankings of players I perform both pre-match and in-match perdiction of the results of the tennis game.
