Hey there! I'm Rizhong 👋

I'm a Data Science master's student and research scholar at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, working at the intersection of machine learning, healthcare, and developer tools.

What I'm working on

• NLP & language tools — Speech-to-text pipelines, multilingual subtitle processing, and local LLM integration for offline-first workflows

• AI-powered automation — Bots and agents that combine multi-modal AI (text, image, vision) with platform APIs and web scraping pipelines

• Healthcare AI — Deep learning for neonatal brain imaging and digital auscultation, with publications at MICCAI, ISBI, and Human Brain Mapping

• Open-source community — Co-maintaining academic templates and sharing research tools with 700+ GitHub stars

Why sponsor?

Your support helps me dedicate time to:

• Building and maintaining open-source tools for learners and researchers
• Keeping everything local-first and privacy-respecting — no cloud dependencies required
• Sharing knowledge through open code and research

Every contribution, big or small, helps me keep building tools that are free for everyone. Thank you!
