My path sits between practical software engineering and learning-heavy experimentation: backend APIs, fullstack product work, cloud foundations, machine learning coursework, 3D web experiments, and AI-assisted prototyping with Claude Code, Codex, and Stitch.
Backend, AI, fullstack systems
I build calm software for messy problems.
I am Ziang Li, a Master of Information Technology student at the University of Auckland with a completed Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I focus on backend systems, ML and AI experiments, and interfaces that feel precise instead of noisy.
