Charles Zhu
About
Hi, I’m Charles Zhu, a 4th-year Computer Science student at UCLA. I enjoy building clean, fast websites and web apps that feel good to use. Over the past few years, I’ve sharpened my skills with modern web technologies and focused on creating user-centered experiences that feel smooth and intentional. I like working end-to-end, from shaping the UI to wiring up the logic, then iterating until it’s something I’d be proud to ship.
Outside of CS, you’ll usually find me at the gym, cooking, practicing photography, going on hikes, or checking out cafés and thrift stores around LA.
