Nice to meet you!
I'm Pin Ren, a Year 4 Computer Science student at the National University of Singapore (NUS), specializing in Artificial Intelligence.
I'm passionate about building practical AI systems and distributed infrastructure. I'm currently working on my Final Year Project exploring LLMs and databases, developing techniques to automatically generate SQL benchmarks.
I'm actively seeking full-time Software Engineering roles starting Summer 2026.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy reading, cooking, and exploring new restaurants! I stay active through running and hiking, and love films and travel.
