Andy Zhang

A Devoted Developer

About Me


Hey ! I'm Andy and I'm a developer from Montreal. I'm currently pursing my studies in Software Engineering at the University of Waterloo and I'm loving it.

Raised in an environment that fostered art and creativity, I developed a strong passion for creating things, whether it'd be music or programs. I'm experienced with Java and Web Development and I am familiar with Python, C, C#, PHP and Javascript. During my free time, I enjoy working on new projects and reading articles.

Aside from programming, I play a lot of music. I've performed countless times in public both in orchestras and in solo. One of my more popular performances can be found here. I also enjoy a lot of sports, notably dragonboat where my team and I won 2nd place at the 20km Challenge. I have also both organized and participated in the Spartan Race and adored my experience.

Feel free to checkout my LinkedIn page for more information.

Dear Boy - Lana Del Rey ft. Avicii

When bored, I like transcribing music that's stuck in my head. For example, I really like to listen Avicii and this song was stuck in my head for a good while.





Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Rey

After watching the Great Gatsby, I had to transcribe my own version of this song. It was simply too good.
