Zeyao Li Portfolio

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 PINT, where I build and maintain websites for clients in variable fields. Recently, I led the development process of Glaukos, an ophthalmic medical technology company's brand new website.

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 developing Dropmark at Oak Studios LLC and a Project Manager at R/GA.
