Experience
TerarkDB Team @ Bytedance
Storage System R&D Intern
June 2021 — August 2021
Beijing, China
I worked on TerarkDB for Zoned Namespace SSDs, contributed to ZenFS, and co-designed an unnamed file system for the next-generation key-value storage engine.
- Implemented Zone-aware garbage collection in TerarkDB. Key-value separation in TerarkDB would lead to a high garbage rate in ZenFS. The new GC scheme in TerarkDB will reduce 3~4x of space amplification, while write amplification remains nearly the same as before.
- Worked on ZenFS by Western Digital. I added observability facilities to ZenFS to trace time-consuming operations in the critical path, analyzed bottlenecks of current implementation, and worked on a new WAL-aware zone allocator, which reduces tail latency from several seconds to several milliseconds.
- Co-designed an unnamed file system for the next-generation key-value storage engine. I proposed several core techniques based on my prior experience with ZenFS.
TiKV Storage Team @ PingCAP
Storage System R&D Intern
August 2020 — January 2021
Shanghai, China
I built a key-value storage engine AgateDB.
- Inspired by WiscKey paper, AgateDB separates large values from the LSM tree into a value log. This design leads to a 10x write speedup on large values in some cases, compared with the current storage engine used by TiKV.
Open Source Contributions
TiKV Community
May 2020 — Now
TiKV is a distributed key-value storage engine behind the MySQL-compatible HTAP database TiDB. I worked on several components of TiKV.
- TiKV Maintainer, Co-leader of Coprocessor SIG
- Migrate the TiKV Coprocessor framework to use TiDB Chunk format (similar to Apache Arrow) during the computation process, as a mentee in Community Bridge mentorship. This is so-called Full Chunk-based Computing project. (May 2020 — July 2020)
- Also check out the blog post by me.
- And the presentation on TiKV monthly meeting.
- Review patches and help grow the community.
- Migrate the TiKV Coprocessor framework to use TiDB Chunk format (similar to Apache Arrow) during the computation process, as a mentee in Community Bridge mentorship. This is so-called Full Chunk-based Computing project. (May 2020 — July 2020)
- Mentor of TiKV LFX Mentorship
- Mentored on Enum/Set support in TiKV project. (September 2020 — December 2020)
- Also check out the blog post by our mentee Xuanwo.
- Co-mentored on Coprocessor Plugin project with Andy Lok. (March 2021 — May 2021)
- Also check out the blog post by our mentee Andreas Zimmerer.
- Mentored on Enum/Set support in TiKV project. (September 2020 — December 2020)
- Develop AgateDB (after my internship in PingCAP)
Shanghai Jiao Tong University Linux User Group
May 2019 — Now
SJTUG, or Shanghai Jiao Tong University Linux User Group, is an open-source community as well as a Linux user group in SJTU. I maintains the SJTUG mirror service and the SJTUThesis LaTeX template.
- Maintainer of SJTUG mirror service (May 2019 — Now)
- SJTUG mirror serves 70k users, 1.5 million requests, and 3TB of data per day.
- Build an open-source mirror infrastructure.
- Set up Siyuan mirror server.
- Build mirror-intel, which enables us to host the first Flathub mirror in China.
- Leverage object storage service to store files with mirror-clone.
- Maintainer of SJTU TeX Templates (May 2021 — Now)
- Maintainer of SJTUThesis, the LaTeX thesis template for all SJTU students.
- Incubate SJTUBeamer template.
Other Experience
TA in PPCA Ray-Tracing Project
July 2020 — August 2020
Principle and Practice of Computer Algorithms (PPCA) is a project-oriented course for first-year undergraduates, where they use what they have learned to build a toy application in one month. I designed a lab based on Ray Tracing In One Weekend and mentored 13 students to make a ray-tracer with the Rust programming language.
You may take a look at Student Project Showcase and Project Template and Tutorials.

Honors and Awards
National Scholarship (Ministry of Education of P.R. China), 2019
I was also qualified for National Scholarship in 2020, but I gave that chance to my classmates. It’s boring to get the same award every year.
