About Me
Hi, I'm Ziyang (Eli) Chen
I'm a Computer Engineering student at Texas A&M University, graduating in May 2026. I'm passionate about building software that solves real problems, whether that's a full-stack web application, a data pipeline, or an AI-powered tool.
My journey in tech has taken me through internships at Hexagon (data engineering), Shepherd Ventures (quantitative research), and Suntop Technology (software engineering). I've also worked as a research assistant at Texas A&M's Innovation Lab, building ML models for storm prediction.
Outside of work, I play both acoustic and electric guitar, love building and flying FPV drones, and enjoy retro gaming and gaming in general.
