About Me
Hi, I'm Kathy Kexin Zhu, a full-stack and backend engineer with 1.5+ years of internship experience building production systems in Node.js and Spring Boot.
I'm graduating in April 2026 with a Master's in Electrical & Computer Engineering (4.0 GPA) from University of Ottawa. I'm open to full-time SDE/Backend/Full-stack opportunities.
I build systems that are fast and reliable: designing REST APIs and data flows, integrating AI-powered features, and improving frontend performance.
Colleagues describe me as collaborative, responsible, and dedicated. I prioritize maintainable code and clear documentation to keep teams aligned. I'm a fast learner who adapts quickly to new challenges, communicates openly, and takes pride in delivering quality without slowing momentum.
