Wayland Zhang
I am an AI believer and software engineer. Studied at University of Toronto ('03-'07), major in Computer Science. Attended Professor Geoffery Hinton's class.
I started sharing what I was discovering in 2024—mainly to organize my own understanding and help others along the way.
Unexpectedly, the channel grew to over 100,000 fellow practitioners. Seeing people actively discuss, challenge ideas, and improve together in the comments genuinely moved me.
That’s why I want to keep sharing practical, down-to-earth insights about AI and real engineering applications—things that actually work in practice.
