To whom it may concern,

I am writing to recommend Mr. Tseng for your esteemed [Master of Science/Master of Engineering] program in Computer Science. During his tenure at our organization, Jeff demonstrated not only a fundamental understanding of the principles of IT and Computer Science but also proficiency in software engineering which was central to his role in our team.

Jeff diligently contributed to the design and development of GoGoBot, our cloud-based chatbot solution. This involved intricate tasks such as integrating diverse data sources with Vector Database using PineCone, Milvus, and Supabase amongst others. His ability to reorganize our codebase, develop FastAPI implementations, setting up Streamlit for Web UI creation and running GoGoBot on a GCP VM showed a solid understanding of programming languages and other tools crucial to computer science and our business model.

His commitment to professional responsibilities was mirrored in his flawless attendance record and noticeable motivation and enthusiasm. He consistently went above and beyond to fulfill project objectives and exceed expectations. This was evidenced when he unified the schema for data ingested into our vector database ensuring seamless data flow and when he improved our service labeler.

Jeff also possessed impressive communication skills, both written and oral. He articulated technical concepts and project updates clearly in team discussions. When faced with a challenge with ChatGPT's understanding of Cantonese and Chinese, he resolved the issue by aligning all text to English, and effectively communicated his solution to the team. His written documentation and reports were consistently comprehensive and easily digestible.

Based on his experience and demonstrated skills during his time with our organization, I am confident that Jeff possesses the necessary academic and professional aptitude to excel in a Master's program in Computer Science. His comprehensive knowledge acquired throughout his tenure with us will undoubtedly provide a strong foundation for his future studies and career in the field.

I wholeheartedly endorse Jeff for admission to your Master's program in Computer Science and feel confident that he will add significant value to your esteemed institution.

Thank you for considering my recommendation. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information or have any questions.
