Yixin's Portfolio
Hey, I'm Yixin (“Isshin”, 毅鑫) Tian, a computer/ML engineer based in Toronto, Canada. I specialize in designing and building scalable ML systems for production environments. My passion lies in exploring better modes of knowledge sharing that can increase the communication bandwidth between humans (and AI). In my leisure time, I enjoy running, writing, reading, and hiking.
Currently, I'm a data scientist at RBC, working on ML infrastructure such as deploying the open-source Dagster orchestration platform on OpenShift and implementing event-driven inference pipelines. In addition, I'm focusing on building next-generation credit decisioning models and RAG-based AI advisors. Outside of work, I'm also a part-time researcher at the University of Southern California ISI, working on multi-agent systems and knowledge graphs.
