Bungein J Cheng

Computer Science graduate and project leader with hands-on experience in full-stack development, AI/ML, and team coordination. Proven ability to bridge technical and leadership roles—from designing curriculum as Coordinator of Instructors for UTEP’s Web Development Applications Club (teaching 50+ students React, JavaScript, and GitHub workflows) to implementing Agile-driven software projects (GANs, GPT-2 fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning). Adept at translating complex concepts into actionable solutions, optimizing workflows, and mentoring teams. Combines technical expertise (Python, PyTorch, C, Java) with operational leadership honed in fast-paced environments (shift management, cost reduction, customer engagement). Passionate about leveraging technology to drive efficiency and learning.

A Pathfinding Algorithm (Python)

• Built a Python pathfinding system using A* with custom heuristics (Manhattan distance).
• Tracked performance metrics (path cost, runtime) across test mazes.

Connect Four AI (Java)

• Developed a Connect Four game with AI opponents (Monte Carlo, UCT algorithms).
• Added tournament mode and adjustable difficulty levels.

File Processing Utilities (C)

• Created CLI tools for file search (find), head/tail operations with memory optimization.

GAN Synthetic Data Generator (PyTorch)

• Trained a GAN to mimic tabular data distributions, with preprocessing and loss visualization.

GPT-2 Fine-Tuning (Python)

• Fine-tuned GPT-2 to generate children’s activity narratives from custom datasets.

Iris Classification Predictor (PyTorch)

• Built a neural network to classify iris species (test loss: 0.21).

Reinforcement Learning Algorithms (Python)

• Implemented Monte Carlo, Q-Learning, and Value Iteration for policy optimization.

UDP Communication System (C/Linux)

• Designed UDP tools (echo service, TCP tunneling) with non-blocking I/O and error handling.
