About Me

Hi there, I am BoYanZh (Boming Zhang). I am a software engineer at TikTok, based in San Jose, originally from 🇨🇳 China.

I am keen on writing high-quality, readable, and maintainable codes with the help of check tools. Also, automating the whole process from development to deployment with CI/CD is one of my interests.

I like to build software with real-world impact and is accessible by everyone and everywhere. So I have taken part in plenty of Web projects, working mainly on the backend side with Python3 and Go. I am trying to dive deeper and deeper into the backend side.

I have built lots of handy tools and platforms for my undergraduate institute. They mainly aim at making the life of students easier. Check this Gist for a collection of useful tools built by other students and me!
