I'm Yiheng (Ian) Zhu, a Computer Science student at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a minor in Music. I'm passionate about software development, database systems, and creating innovative applications that solve real-world problems.
My academic journey has equipped me with strong foundations in software development, database design, web development, data structures, and algorithms. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of technology and creative fields like music.
My journey into programming began with curiosity about how digital systems work. What started as simple experiments with coding evolved into a deep exploration of software development and database design. This passion has guided my academic projects and personal interests.
Throughout my studies, I've worked on various projects that have helped me develop practical skills in:
- • Building full-stack web applications with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
- • Designing and implementing relational SQL databases
- • Developing software tools for analyzing and visualizing data
- • Creating systems and server environments for various applications
- • Implementing algorithms for solving complex problems
My current interests include:
- • Database design and optimization for large-scale applications
- • Web application development with modern frameworks
- • Software tools for visualization and analysis
- • Integration of music and technology
I believe that technology should be accessible and user-friendly, and this philosophy guides my approach to software design and development.
When I'm not coding, you might find me exploring music production, attending concerts, or contributing to campus activities. I enjoy the creative process of making music, which complements my technical interests in computer science.
