Experience
Delta Electronics
Intern (Advanced Technology II)Jul 2025 to Dec 2025 | Taiwan
- Built the ETOM benchmark to evaluate agentic orchestrators over a 2,000+ tool pool, designing 5 difficulty levels: L1 single-turn (explicit server/tool), L2 single-turn (ambiguous with Equal Function Sets ground truth), L3 multi-turn intra-server planning, L4 multi-turn cross-server planning (with EFS), L5 "impossible" tasks for capability-gap detection.
- Researched and benchmarked orchestrator architectures (ReAct, MCP-Zero, ToolShed) on ETOM, analyzing planning quality, tool selection, and multi-turn reasoning trade-offs under large tool sets.
