Profile

Hello! I'm

Ashley J. Zhou

Developer, Researcher, Product Enthusiast

ABOUT

I'm a third-year studying Computer Science and Economics at the University of California, Irvine. Through self-guided learning, project building, and contributions to my community, I've gained interests in software development, applied machine learning, and investment management.

I believe in leveraging technology as a force for social good and sustainable progress.


Outside of code, I enjoy playing classical piano, interior design, city strolling, and eating natto!
