The Introduction

Shimin Zhang

Hello there!

My name is Shimin Zhang, a software engineer based in the Greater Seattle Area.

I build web applications and AI products that solve real-world problems. I craft software that ships, scales, and survives the engineers who come after me.

The Author

Grew up in New York City, I lived in San Francisco for work and Atlanta for graduate school before settling down on the Kitsap Peninsula.

I blog about programming, entrepreneurship, and machine learning. I also co-host Artificial Developer Intelligence, a weekly podcast about AI-enabled software development.

You can find some of my academic publications here, and a copy of my resume here.

Offline, I am usually running with Meg the Border Collie on the Kitsap Peninsula or playing fetch with Romulus the Aussie.
