About Jason Cheng

I’m a Computer Science student at the University at Buffalo (Class of 2027) with a passion for solving complex problems through technology, data, and collaboration. I have experience across software development, algorithms, and systems programming, with proficiency in C, C++, Java, Python, MIPS assembly, and SQL.This past summer, I interned at the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), where I contributed to infrastructure delivery projects that improved workflow efficiency and supported mission-critical financial systems. My work strengthened my technical abilities while giving me hands-on experience in a high-impact, fast-paced environment.Beyond academics and internships, I’ve worked on diverse projects—from building full-stack applications and custom memory allocators to developing graph-based algorithms and hardware simulations in VHDL. I thrive in environments that challenge me to think critically, learn quickly, and collaborate with others to deliver meaningful results.I’m seeking opportunities where I can apply my technical expertise, analytical skills, and adaptability to solve real-world problems and continue growing as a software engineer.

Experience

1. Ai Ml Fellow

   Handshake

   Dec 2025 — Present · New York, NY, US

   Supported AI and machine learning initiatives by curating and preparing high-quality datasets, improving data consistency and usability by 25%. Worked closely with engineering and AI teams to review model results, identify data gaps or biases, and enhance datasets, contributing to a 15–20% improvement in model effectiveness. Followed data validation and quality assurance practices to ensure accurate, reliable data across multiple projects and use cases.
