Interests

I'm passionate about internationalization (i18n), Unicode standards, and building robust software infrastructure. I contribute to open-source projects and enjoy solving algorithmic challenges in Rust.

Organizations

• Google
• TC39 — ECMAScript (JavaScript) standards committee
• Unicode Consortium — Unicode and internationalization standards
• ICU-Performance

Open Source Contributions

• Active contributor to ICU4X, a modular and portable Unicode library. Recent work includes adding currency display options to CurrencyFormatter.
• Contributed to TC39 efforts on ECMAScript internationalization APIs.

Projects

• leetcode-rust: My LeetCode solutions in Rust.
• YJTaxonomer: A new taxonomy for the genomic database (C++).
• tree_pruning: Pruning phylogenetic trees and outputting clean results without extra leaves (Java).
• unieativeTaxonomer: A taxonomer for genome species in the metagenomic database (C++).
• rustlings: Small exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code (forked from rust-lang/rustlings).

Interesting Links

• ICU4X Documentation. A modular, portable Unicode library designed for resource-constrained environments.
