About Me

I'm Zi, a systems engineer with over 2 years of work experience in quality assurance. I earned my B.S. in Software Engineering from Western Governors University in April of 2025.

My passion lies in building software and solutions that helps others and make a meaningful impact. Technology has always fascinated me and this is my way of diving deeper while contributing back to the industry I grew up admiring.

Outside of tech, I also enjoy picking up skills such as wood/metal working, anodizing, and soldering. I'm also a passionate automotive enthusiast. I have owned many different cars and currently have a fixation with Porsche.
