Hi! I am

Selina Zhang

Student at the University of Washington

Intending to become a front-end developer or a UI/UX designer

My story

I started my coding journey in Grade 10 when I participated in my first hackathon, Technovation Girls. Along with three other teammates, I developed a mobile app for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). I was amazed by the impact software application can make to my community and the social issues I care about. Thus, I started learning coding and software development more seriously. I participated in more hackathons, summer programs, research programs, internships to learn more about web and game development. I expanded my knowledge to multiple coding languages and frameworks, such as JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and REACT. Now, I'm a freshman at the University of Washington, studying Engineering (wants to major in HCDE). I aim to become a front-end or UX developer. I'm always looking for internship, networking, hackathon, and conferences opportunities. So please don't hesitate to reach out!
