About

Hi, I'm Dayong, a graduate student from Boston University in Computer Science, and I have been working full-time in Boson, MA for 2.5 years focusing on developing Augmented Reality (AR) applications to solve real-world problems. My further curiosities span generative AI, other innovative human-computer interaction (HCI) techniques, and how to use these tools to foster human flourishing. I am deeply interested in building "small but beautiful" products that address a specific challenge in people's everyday life. I am also an educational social media creator with over 50K followers, focusing on teaching practical English to Chinese elderly learners and introducing Boston’s local culture. In my leisure time, I love to play soccer⚽️ as it is a great way to make friends, relax, and laugh.
