Hi, I'm Yi–Ning Weng.
I pursue my journey with discipline and a sincere hope to bring some meaningful improvement to the world. Within the pace of city life, I write essays on city life, take photos of ordinary streets, and keep public notes on how I'm learning.
Here are the fields where I have a keen interest:
・Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence
Studying primarily reinforcement learning (RL) and multi-agent systems, with a focus on Q-learning and Deep Q-Networks (DQN).

・Full-Stack Development
Thinking about how systems are built end to end, and how technical decisions shape long-term maintainability, collaboration, and everyday work.

・Strategic Thinking
Grounded in previous consulting experience, I approach problems by working backward from outcomes, forming hypotheses, and identifying structure beneath complexity.

・Innovative Entrepreneurship
Actively exploring how ideas move from concept to execution. I have participated in startup projects, including winning second prize in an entrepreneurship competition, and later became the creator of Auralytics .

・Writing
Using words to slow down experience, organize thought, and make sense of things that do not immediately resolve themselves.

・Film
Deeply influenced by the cinematic language of Wim Wenders and Richard Linklater. I am drawn to films that linger on time, everyday movement, and the quiet emotional texture of ordinary life.

・Music
Listening across genres, shaped by long-term influences from Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground, Ryuichi Sakamoto, often moving between city pop, R&B, indie, and East Asian pop scenes.
