Hello! I am Tianci Hou (you can call me Ted), a Master’s student in Computer Science at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). I am currently seeking summer internship opportunities to apply my expertise in software development and research.

During my undergraduate studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, I had the privilege of working as a research assistant under the guidance of Prof. Wei-Chung Hsu and Prof. Yixiang Fang. My research interests lie in compiler optimization, systems, and databases, where I focus on developing efficient solutions for complex computational challenges.

I am passionate about software development and enjoy creating practical tools and systems. Beyond academics, I have worked on engaging projects such as developing the CUHK-Shenzhen Online Judge and creating various tools to optimize daily life.

Welcome to my academic page! Feel free to explore my repositories to learn more about my projects and research. If you have any questions or collaboration opportunities, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
