About
Hello! I'm David Zhao, a fresh grad out of Rice's Computer Science program. I've got a few internships under my belt, and now I'm ready to get into the workforce properly! I've taken courses focusing from high level abstraction--probabilistic algorithms, object oriented programming, parallel programming--to the low--compiler construction, assembly, direct processor work.
My passion lies in anything computer science--I've been coding since I was young, and I've always found it fun. The best part of anything I do is sitting down and writing out the code that's been bouncing around my head.
