I'm pursuing a Computer Science B.S.E. at the University of Michigan.
About
My name is Eric Zhao, and I'm currently a student at the University of Michigan studying computer science. Through computer science, I've been able to hone, leverage, and apply my methodical approach to problem solving to build efficient programs. I'm most interested in infrastructure, low-level programming, full-stack development, and Large Language Models (LLMs).
At school, I work as a teaching assistant for Discrete Math. On campus, I'm also the Vice President of Recruitment for Atlas Digital Consulting Group, a technology consulting club, and a member of the Phi Gamma Nu Professional Business Fraternity.
Outside of school, I enjoy playing tennis, poker, eating, visitng new places, and spending quality time with friends and family. I'm always down to try something new!
Thank you for visiting my website, and it's been a pleasure to tell you a little bit about myself! :)
