Resume

Hi! I'm Kevin Zou


I'm currently a student at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I've been programming in various computer languages for nearly 8 years now, starting off with Java and currently most familiar with C++ and Python. I do lots of game-related programming, like plugins, automation scripts, and mods, as well as a little bit of game dev and 3d modeling. I'm always interested in learning more about technologies, and prefer working in the backend of systems and APIs, although I do have plenty of frontend knowledge and experience.


In my free time, I watch movies and TV, practice Piano, and play various video games. My current main game is Final Fantasy 14, an online multiplayer game that I enjoy optimizing my performance in and competing for high damage rankings.
As far as pets go, I'm a cat person (with a soft spot for Shibas).
