About Suryadi Zhang

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with real-world project experience delivering responsive web apps and robust APIs using React, Next.js, Python, FastAPI, and Postgres. My path into coding didn’t begin in a classroom—it started with curiosity. I taught myself on YouTube, explored courses on Coursera, and eventually completed Coding Temple’s Software Engineering Bootcamp. Along the way, I discovered that problem-solving isn’t just a skill for me—it’s a passion. I find energy and creativity in untangling complex challenges, sometimes even catching myself refining debugging ideas in my sleep.That curiosity and persistence have fueled me to build production-ready systems, including a live booking platform for my own startup. I thrive on end-to-end ownership: shaping data models, designing APIs, and bringing features to life in the browser with CI/CD pipelines that ensure safe, frequent releases. On weekends, I channel the same discipline as a private hibachi chef, where precision, timing, and creating a memorable experience mirror the principles I bring to engineering. What I Bring• Self-driven ownership across the stack: data modeling, REST API design, and responsive UIs• A problem-solver mindset: persistence, creativity, and a bias toward learning until the job is done• Production focus: CI/CD, validation, auth, and observability for safe and scalable releases Impact & Highlights• Shipped a booking platform + admin (Next.js/TypeScript + FastAPI/Postgres) deployed on Vercel + VPS → enabled role-based access, secure auth, rate limiting, and automated deployments• Increased deployment frequency by 30% with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines → reduced regressions, faster delivery• Reduced setup time by 15% in event operations by designing SOPs and automation—translating process-driven thinking into both tech and operations Core Stack & KeywordsTypeScript/JavaScript, Python, React, Next.js, FastAPI, Flask, Postgres, SQLAlchemy, Tailwind CSS, GitHub Actions, Vercel, OpenAPI/Swagger, MySQL, Express, Postman/Insomnia, Render/Netlify, CORS, OWASP basicsOutside of work, I thrive on curiosity and continuous learning—whether experimenting with new frameworks, refining my hibachi craft, or tackling open-source style projects.View my portfolio: myportfolio.mysticdatanode.net
