About Me
Hi, I am Bowen. I am a first-generation college student, originally from China. I moved to Southern California when I was nine and have lived here ever since.
I am an upcoming 4th year studying Computer Science and Business Information Management at UC Irvine. I enjoy building software that solves real problems, whether it is through full-stack development, data analysis, or working with nonprofits.
In my free time, I like playing basketball, going to concerts, and traveling. I’m hoping to visit Japan again and explore more historic parts of China.
