Hello, I'm LU ZHANG
Software Developer & Tech Enthusiast
I build cool full-stack applications and enjoy participating in hackathons to solve real-world problems. Passionate about Web Development, LLM and Cloud Computing.

About Me
Hello! I'm a passionate software developer with experience in TypeScript and Java, and expertise in frameworks like React, Node.js, and Spring Boot.. I am a quick learner and enjoy working on challenging projects that push my boundaries.
I pivoted to tech from finance, where I first realized the power of programming in streamlining repetitive tasks like financial and industry analysis. Since then, I've been constantly expanding my knowledge and skills through both academic pursuits and practical experience in hackathons and personal projects.
I believe in the power of technology to solve real-world problems and make a positive impact. I’m currently learning more about Advanced Networking, Applied ML, and Cloud Native technologies.
