Synesthetic Music Visualization
A TouchDesigner system where a song's loudness and roughness change how the visuals move and deform. We tested a soft and an intense version with 30 people.
Hi, I'm Qixuan.
I'm in my last year of Computer Science at the University of Toronto.
Most of my time goes into Remeda, where I write backend code for a tool that drafts clinical referral letters. A draft never goes out on its own. A doctor edits it, approves it or rejects it, and every step is logged.
Before that I spent a year at Veeva fixing flaky end-to-end tests for their regulatory software. Before that I built music-driven visuals for a therapy study, which became my first paper.
NowOctober 2026
- Building the referral-draft backend at Remeda, and reading papers for a MedQX literature review.
- Taking CSC2626, a grad course on imitation learning for robotics. My final project is on VINN.
- Applying to master's programs for Fall 2027.

Box Office vs. Streaming Services
A D3 data story about cinema and streaming, built with two classmates. I went back later and redid the layout so it reads well on a phone.

Food Item Classifier
Decision trees, KNN and a small neural net on the same food prediction task, compared side by side.
