Summary
Qinyun Cai is a software engineer and data scientist turned medical student with eight years of experience building ML-driven applications across healthcare and biotech. They have applied deep learning to ophthalmic OCT data at UC San Diego, developed peptide-binding prediction tools and a Flask-based web platform at IGE Therapeutics, and contributed to production security and data pipelines in industry roles. Based in Chicago, Qinyun blends hands-on engineering (TensorFlow, SVMs, Flask, Raspberry Pi) with a strong data-science foundation and practical deployment experience. Now training in medicine at Carle Illinois, they bridge clinical insight with technical expertise to translate algorithms into patient-facing solutions. An unusual combination: they’re also a private pilot, reflecting disciplined, safety-minded problem solving beyond the lab.
