Hello! My name is Bill, or 孙源鸿 / 孫源鴻 / Yuan Hong Sun. Born in Wuhan, China and raised in Toronto, Canada, I am currently working as an AI Engineer at
Guidepoint. Previously, I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at
Kinaxis, where I
develop machine learning and generative AI solutions for supply chain.
I also worked at Nuralogix as a Data Science Software Engineer,
working closely with the Anura personal health monitoring app.
I am enthusiastic about using software, AI,
machine learning, data, 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.
