Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYutong Zhou is a computer science researcher and software developer based in Montreal with 11 years of experience, currently working as a Research Assistant at McGill’s Center for Bioinformatics. She builds interactive scientific tools—contributing to a Unity/Node.js human-computing game for sequence alignment and a VR molecular-structure visualization—bringing practical C# and backend experience to research projects. Comfortable in functional languages like OCaml, F#, and Clojure, she also has solid C, Java, and Unix/Linux skills, and some JavaScript experience from hackathons and coursework. Earlier, she interned on graph-database tooling where she designed APIs and a deduplication routine that reduced 320k+ nodes to ~8k with few errors. Her public GitHub projects are playful and older, hinting at curiosity-driven tinkering that she plans to make more polished over time. Colleagues value her mix of academic rigor and hands-on engineering across visualization, game-like interfaces, and data cleanup tasks.
