About
FROM ARCHITECTURE TO INTELLIGENCE.

I'm Shi Zhang, a founding software engineer at IDitor Inc, a San Francisco-based AI social startup. I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University (May 2025) and recently completed a certificate in Data Analytics & Engineering.

My path started with a Bachelor of Architecture from RPI and a Master of Science in Design from UPenn. That multidisciplinary foundation — design thinking, systems logic, spatial reasoning — now shapes every technical product I build.

I believe the best software lives at the intersection of engineering precision and design empathy.
