Professional summary

I am a senior undergraduate student at UNC-Chapel Hill majoring in computer science and mathematics. Interned last summer at IBM as a full-stack developer.

More about me

I enjoy tackling complex problems and turn them into many simple, elegant, and manageable pieces. I also love the logical flow and structure of coding and striving to make my work elegant, effective, and understandable.

I am very adaptable as I switched between living in America and China three times and adapted really well. I am also a quick learner as I learned Python, React, and many other programming languages by myself and applied them to my school work successfully.

I also enjoy cooking, board games, badminton, ice skating, and many other fun activities. Just like the saying "there is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither", I have learned to balance my time to achieve maximum efficiency.

Work Experiences

Full-stack Developer Intern

IBM, NC | May 2021 - August 2021

  • Developed the foundation of a validation service that automats a fully manual process that took weeks to accomplish
  • Improved user experience on a platform that supports on average 2000+ users each month.
  • Streamlined administration content activities to remove the need of updating through deployment. This freed up development resources, increased speed to update content, and cut down the number of deploys.
  • Worked closely with project management to provide feedback on component functionality and the flexibility that we could deliver to stakeholders to improve user experience on the site.

Software Engineer (part-time)

  • Working on a UNICEF project that helps the United Nation to understand the population health status of 100+ counties/areas. Mainly focused on data analysis and front end website development.
  • Cooperate with other researches from other universities like NC State University about data visualization and front end development.
  • Improved the code organization on a medical documnet search engin that uses machine learning. This greatly improved the further development of the project.

UI/UX Design Intern

Lenovo, Beijing | July 2017 - August 2017

  • Used MockingBot (Like Adobe XD) to designed Lenovo's B2B web store that provides all Lenovo's retailers with product information and is able to restock products easily
  • Determined the amount of resources needed for the project and reported to marketing and human resources. This earned the team more time to work on the project and it turned out well polished
