Hi, I'm Ziyao πŸ‘‹
I am still an undergraduate student studying computer engineering (Honours) and am expected to graduate in the second quarter of 2025.

About

In early 2021, I entered UNSW to study computer engineering. By chance, at the end of 2023, I joined 4px express (AU) PTY LTD, engaged in HR and finance, and began a two-way life of work and study. At the same time during my undergraduate years, I was developing a project of my own to implement graph database interaction without code, named 'To Draw Is Human: Towards No-Code Subgraph Search'.

My Projects

Check out my latest work

I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
