Hi, My name is Harry.

About Me

Hi, I'm Harry Zhu and I'm a second year Data Science student at the University of Waterloo.

I am currently in Seattle, WA interning at AWS DynamoDB working on routing.

Formerly, I was a Software Developer at TD Bank on the portfolio analytics team and a Full-stack Developer at BTNX.

While I'm not coding, you can find me playing piano, powerlifting, or playing poker with friends.

Here is some of my work below:
