Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCai Zheng is a driven Co-Founder and rising senior at UMass Amherst studying Computer Science with a Philosophy minor, bringing eight years of hands-on experience across startups, campus IT, and applied ML. At a stealth startup he built optimization and automation solutions that boosted local client revenue by 17% in two months, and as an Applied ML Researcher he shrank a sentiment-analysis pipeline’s runtime from two hours to ten minutes. He has practical full-stack and ML experience—shipping a public investment fund website and mentoring incoming CS students—alongside campus IT roles that honed his collaboration and communication skills. Eager for full-time software engineering roles, Cai combines entrepreneurial initiative with a knack for turning research prototypes into production-ready tooling.
