HELLO!

Welcome to my creative space!

Cinque Terre

Quick Intro

Originally born in China, I have lived in Anhui and Shanghai . From 2012-2014, I studied at United World College in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Now I'm finishing my last year of Computer Science and Math majors with a Psychology minor at Macalester College. I love to spent my time painting, traveling, stargazing, coding and playing the guitar or piano. I occasionally do astro-photography with friends and tinker with my analog camera. I worked shortly as a full stack Ruby on Rails developer for Software for good the summer of 2018, where I developped both the front-end and back-end of a web platform Punchliners . Currently, I'm looking for jobs in software development and work opportunities that combines creative arts & design.

I studied and volunteered at Shanghai Jiuqian Volunteer Center for more than 10 years. Jiuqian is a NGO that has helped many migrants stundents exclued from local high school in Shanghai due to policies to find alternative routes to education.
