As a dedicated research fellow at the Data Science Institute of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), I am at the forefront of pioneering research in the field of artificial intelligence, specifically focusing on large language model-based agents and adverbial machine learning. My research journey has been enriched by a diverse range of academic and industry projects, spanning crucial domains such as government services, human resources, healthcare, education and finance. These experiences have honed my expertise and underscored the versatility and transformative potential of AI across various sectors. Prior to my tenure at UTS, I amassed a decade of invaluable experience in the fintech industry, where I was instrumental in designing and leading technical teams. My contributions have led to the development of several commercial-level financial systems, including sophisticated foreign exchange platforms, third-party payment systems, and customer credit evaluation frameworks. A significant aspect of my work in fintech involved the integration of machine learning technologies, which enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of these systems. My technical acumen extends beyond artificial intelligence to encompass cybersecurity and business analysis. With extensive experience in cybersecurity strategy design, actual defence engagements, and team leadership, I have ensured the security and resilience of numerous projects. Moreover, as a business analysis consultant, I have imparted real-world industry insights to C-level executives across companies and universities, bridging the gap between academic research and practical business applications. Currently, my research is directed towards the ambitious goal of achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). By investigating the utilization of agents, software projects, and industry-standard operational procedures (SOPs), my aim is to pave the way for the application of AGI in real-world commercial projects. This endeavour encapsulates the technical challenges involved and the potential for AGI to revolutionize how industries operate.
