Dongyu (Rain) Y. — AI Researcher

👋 Greetings! I'm Dongyu (Rain) Yao, a Master's student in Computer Vision (MSCV) at the Robotics Institute (RI), School of Computer Science (SCS), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). 🔎 I'm actively seeking entry-level full-time opportunities in Machine Learning Engineer (MLE), Research Scientist, and SDE/SWE positions for spring 2026. 🔬My research interests broadly lie in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, NLP, and Generative AI (LLMs and MLLMs). My research endeavors paid off as my previous works were published at Top-tier conferences such as ACL (main), ICCV, ICASSP, CogSci (Oral), and NeurIPS. 🧑‍💻 I’m intoxicated with these cutting-edge technologies and their real-world applications. After honing my end-to-end modeling skills as a Machine Learning Engineer intern at TikTok (ByteDance), I deepened my engineering chops at Meta, building core ML infrastructure components and exploring new feature innovations. With hands-on model development insights and a solid engineering foundation on production-scale systems, I’m driven to push the boundaries of AI innovation even further. 🥁Apart from my professional experience as an enthusiastic researcher and engineer, I derive great enjoyment from music. I’ve had 18 years of performing experience with percussion instruments (e.g., snares, timpani, drum sets, marimba). I have served as the Chief percussionist at Wuhan University Symphony Orchestra and the drummer of the school music band AfterMathCandy. 🏀 I believe life thrives on movement. I have developed strong communication and cooperative skills as well as relaxing myself in the game of basketball (served as Shooting Guard in the department’s team of WHUCSE). I place significant importance on collective honor and team triumphs. 🤝 I’m always open to new opportunities. If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to drop an email to rain.dongyu.yao@gmail.com or raindy@cmu.edu
