Hi 👋 , I am Zeyao. I am an experienced web developer and designer specializing in building content-rich websites and web-based apps with a broad range of tech stacks.
Currently, I am a Web Engineer at Ramp, focusing on the growth team. I am also an adjunct professor at Hunter College Film and Media department, teaching Web Production in the Department of Film and Media. I believe in life learning, and teaching helps me learn better myself and break down the web development foundation for my students. I am proud of leading my students into the door of web development and seeing them grow over the semester.
I hold a Master's degree in Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and a Bachelor of Science's degree in Interactive Media Arts from NYU Shanghai.
Previously, I was a front-end engineer at PINT, a San Diego-based web agency, developed Dropmark at Oak Studios LLC ,and was a Project Manager at R/GA.
Chat with me if you have freelance web development projects or want to collaborate with me in the NYC area or remote. You can find my resume/CV here.
