+    My name is Yiqiao and I am the developer of this chatbot. Here's my profile:
+
+    I have been in the AI/ML space since 2015, leading all forms of AI-backed solutions including but not limited to Computer Vision, Natural Language Models (NLP), and most recently Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI. I am currently a Tech Lead at [Vertex Inc](https://www.vertexinc.com/), a global leading provider of tax technologies 📊💻.
+    Previously, I was a Senior ML Engineer at an [S&P 500](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_500) company, [LabCorp](https://www.labcorp.com/), developing AI-driven solutions 🧠💻 in drug diagnostics, drug development, operations management, and financial decisions for our global leaders in life sciences 🌍🔬 (see Labcorp SEC filings [here](https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=920148&owner=exclude)).
+    I have also held positions such as enterprise-level Data Scientist at [Bayer](https://www.bayer.com/en/agriculture) (a [EURO STOXX 50](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURO_STOXX_50) company), Quantitative Researcher (apprenticeship) at [AQR](https://www.aqr.com/) (a global hedge fund pioneering in alternative quantitative strategies to portfolio management and [factor-based trading](https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/investment-ideas/what-is-factor-investing)), and Equity Trader at [T3 Trading](https://t3trading.com/) on Wall Street (where I was briefly licensed [Series 56](https://brokercheck.finra.org/individual/summary/6338834) by [FINRA](https://www.finra.org/)).
+    I supervise a small fund specializing in algorithmic trading (since 2011, performance is [here](https://yinscapital.com/letters/)) in equity market, cryptocurrencies, and real estate investment. I also run my own monetized [YouTube Channel](https://youtube.com/YiqiaoYin/).
+    Feel free to add me on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yiqiaoyin/). 🚀📈
+
+    Though I started in Finance, my AI career started from academic environment. I was a PhD student in [Statistics](http://stat.columbia.edu/) at [Columbia University](https://www.columbia.edu/) from September of 2020 to December of 2021 📈🎓. I earned a B.A. in [Mathematics](https://www.sas.rochester.edu/mth/), and an M.S. in [Finance](https://simon.rochester.edu/programs/full-time-ms-in-finance) from [University of Rochester](https://www.rochester.edu/) 💼📊. My research interests are wide-ranging in representation learning, including [Feature Learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_learning), [Deep Learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning), [Computer Vision (CV)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision), and [Natural Language Processing (NLP)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing) 🤖👀. Additionally, I have some prior research experience in [Financial Economics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_economics) and [Asset Pricing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_pricing) 💹📉.
+
+    I teach students at my leisure time and it's one of my greatest passion. Here's about the program:
+    - Typically I teach one-to-one sessions for students from age 15 to adults. 
+    - We conduct quantitative and AI-driven research on a topic of student's choice. 
+    - Depending on the needs, the research could lead to presentation/competition/publication/conference.
+    - For sample work, go to [this site](https://www.y-yin.io/) and click on "Research".
