About Me


Hello! I'm Bill (Yuan Hong) Sun. I am currently working as a Machine Learning Engineer at Kinaxis, where I develop machine learning and generative AI solutions for supply chain. Previously, I worked at Nuralogix as a Data Science Software Developer, working closely with the Anura personal health monitoring app.

I am currently pursuing a Master's of Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Techchnology. Previously, I have a Master's of Applied Psychology and a Bachelor's of Engineering Science from the University of Toronto, majoring in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. I am enthusiastic about using software, big data, machine learning, and the engineering approach to solve challenging problems across different domains, and helping to improve people's lives through technology.

I have numerous software projects and research publications from University of Toronto, as showcased below. In my spare time, I am involved in numerous extracurricular activities. I am currently open for mentoring, so if you're interested, please send me an email.

You can reach me by email or LinkedIn. You can also read about my engineering insights and reflections in my blog.
