  Coding for fun. I created ontra.cc, a website that helps people look for hotel rooms in Yellowstone National Park. I had the idea when I found myself spending lots of time looking for last minute hotels for my trip to Yellowstone National Park in summer 2011. I developed the backend system in a night and spent another weekend to put up the web frontend. It attracted hundreds of users just by word of mouth. It feels great when your product actually gets adopted by users and improves people's quality of life!

  mvpLabz.com. I founded the mvplabz.com with a bunch of friends. It bridges the needs between innovation companies and engineering talents. The company is focused on developing web, mobile, data-mining and healthcare technologies. Its current customers are mainly from the Pittsburgh area, also Silicon Valley, Seattle and New York.

  Attacking healthcare in China. I created eyoumedi.com (Chinese), a web-based system to manage Electronic Medical Records (EMR) for small clinics in China, where over 95% of the medical institutes are operated by one or two doctors.
• 
  Association of Pittsburgh Area Chinese Entrepreneurs (A-PACE). I founded and currently preside over A-PACE, an organization that sets out to connect entrepreneurial Chinese students, scholars and alumni, who have roots in the Pittsburgh area. As of November, 2011, it has over 100 members and it reaches all across the globe, with active members from Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, and people working at companies such as Google, Microsoft, Siemens, and startups in Pittsburgh, New York, Seattle, Silicon Valley and China. Many of its members have their own business and/or are starting their own ventures.

  I organized the Computer Vision Misc Reading Group at CMU during 2008-2010.
