Kuan-Hung (Hank) Chen

I'm currently at Google, working on TPU simulator and infrastructure.

Prior to joining Google, I completed my M.Sc. in EE from NTHU, where I focused on computer vision and ML applications, advised by Prof. Min Sun. I curated a list of resources on small object detection.

Things I'm interested in:

• AI. I mean, who isn't?
• Traveling. I enjoy traveling and I bookmark places I've been to:

  🇺🇸Apr'26 San Francisco	🇯🇵Mar'26 Osaka	🇲🇾Jan'26 Kuala Lumpur	🇺🇸Nov'25 San Francisco
  🇯🇵Sep'25 Tokyo	🇨🇳June'25 Shanghai	🇺🇸Jan'25 San Francisco	🇸🇬June'24 Singapore
  🇮🇳May'24 Bangalore	🇦🇺May'24 Sydney	🇰🇷Jan'19 Seoul

• Investing. While a fan of broad-market index investing, I find it interesting thinking about, and sometimes backtesting, rule-based investing strategies (e.g. market timing). I do employ some strategies in part of my portfolio. I'm also into factor investing.
• Bitcoin. I'm orange-pilled and curious to see how far this thing can go. Happy to talk more IRL.
• Competitive programming. I got fascinated with competitive programming when I was preparing for tech interviews in the final year of grad school. I mostly participated in contests on codeforces, atcoder, and sometimes other platforms. (Surprisingly?) I'm still maintaining some code snippets for common algorithms and data structures.
• Languages. Always learning a new language. Currently I'm on Korean.
• Poker. Relatively new hobby of mine.

I'm also on LinkedIn but only for playing the daily puzzles. Email is the best way to reach me.
