About Me
Hello! I'm Hannah Liu, a first-year Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a strong passion for technology, problem-solving, and project development. In my free time, I learn new melodies on the piano, go for walks, and chat with others who share my enthusiasm for programming and problem-solving.
In the past, I have been constantly expanding my knowledge by designing and developing various applications using a broad range of technologies, such as React Native, Python, TypeScript, and Figma. My skills and dedication to innovating tech have been strengthened and shown through my experience in programming contests and hackathon projects, along with awards in STEM and various other projects.
I am actively seeking for Summer 2025 internships, where I hope to apply my skills, learn from experienced mentors, and make meaningful contributions. Feel free to connect or reach out!
