I initially joined as an intern the summer before the last year in my cs masters program. it was too exciting to leave, and I converted to full-time immediately after my internship ended, becoming HeyGen's first intern -> new grad hire. it's a lot of fun. here's some stuff I contributed significantly to or was responsible for:

• 🚢AI studio (our video editor)
  • 🚢development and launch!
  • 🚢voice mirroring
  • 🚢audio uploading / recording for avatar lip syncing
  • 🚢third party stock image, video, and music providers
  • 🚢background music
• 🚢a new video editor for our video agent
• 🚢an interactive voice clone creation experience
• 🚢emotion generation for voice clones
• 🚢voice library: better accent and emotion support, dynamically generated previews, user customizations
• 🔧implemented observability across frontend and backend voice domain
• 🔧cut down errors across critical voice endpoints by 50%
• 🔧improved frontend performance of voice features, in some cases from 15s to <1s load time
