Berkeley graduate student building practical design and technical work

Graduate student at UC Berkeley, assembling a portfolio and hands-on experience while completing a master’s degree.

Work samples

A selection of class projects and independent work completed during my graduate studies at UC Berkeley, showing skills I am developing and experimenting with.

  • BruinPlanner (DataRes @ UCLA) | github.com/rosiechen1005/RAG-BruinPlanner
    BruinPlanner (DataRes @ UCLA) | github.com/rosiechen1005/RAG-BruinPlanner

    Built a RAG course recommender with transformer embeddings and Pinecone, improving relevance by ~50%. Developed course-data pipelines for vector search, degree filtering, and LLM recommendations. Exposed recommendation workflow through REST APIs and added cache for frequent courses and queries.
