Hi, I'm Yincheng Zhou

CS & Physics @ UPenn VIPER

Building intelligent systems that work reliably at scale.

About Me

I am a dual-degree student at the University of Pennsylvania in the VIPER program, studying Computer and Information Science (AI concentration) and Physics and Astronomy. I am passionate about building intelligent systems that work reliably at scale, with deep interests in high-concurrency distributed systems, computer vision, machine learning, and AI agents.

What excites me most is the challenge of making multiple AI agents cooperate to solve problems that no single model can handle, and engineering the infrastructure underneath to stay robust under real-world pressure. Currently, I am putting these ideas into practice as the Founding Software Engineer at Franklink, Inc., where I architect multi-agent pipelines for an AI-native professional network, and as a researcher at UPenn GRASP Laboratory, where I work on sparse depth prediction for event cameras under Prof. Pratik Chaudhari.

I thrive at the intersection of robust engineering and cutting-edge research, and I am always looking for hard problems that live in that space.
