I am Yiran Rex Ma — artist, engineer, human. I am a master's student in Foreign Linguistics and Applied Linguistics at Peking University, now working as an independent researcher and entrepreneur. I am striding towards becoming an LLM engineer, focusing on continual learning and personal models that swiftly adapt the foundation to diverse domains and align with inherent human preferences.
