AI Full-Stack Engineer · Forward Deployed Engineer

AI is redrawing the starting line.I want to make this opportunity count.

I'm Dingxin Tao (陶鼎新), an AI Native developer. I studied Computer Science at UC Irvine and am studying Analytics at USC. When I build something, I care about the problem it solves and whether it keeps working once it leaves the demo.
