About

Here is a little background

I am an international student mastering computer science/data science with a solid foundation in full-stack development. I am going to graduate in May 2023. I have, in total, two industrial software engineer internships, and three graduate teaching assistant experiences. I worked as a backend engineer intern for both experiences. I have helped teach two classes: full-stack web development and Intro/Advanced data structures & algorithms. I was exposed to a decent amount of technology during my two internships, yet I still want to learn more new technology. I am familiar with HTML, CSS, js, node js, and typescript for the front end. For the framework and library, I have used vue.js, epress.js, tailwind.css For the backend, I am familiar with java and python. For the last few semesters, I have used python intensely for machine learning classes and coding practice. About the framework, library and tools, I had experience with SQL/NoSQL database, spring-boot, cloud computing such as AWS and Azure, package manager as maven, and Gradle and GitHub.
