About Zitao Shen (沈子韬)

Hey there! Welcome to my website! I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I proudly graduated with a master’s degree in computer science from Northeastern University and another one in industrial engineering from the University of Minnesota. During my time at the University of Minnesota, I worked as a research assistant at the Health Informatics NLP lab. Now, I’m part of the awesome team at Amazon AWS, rocking it as a software engineer. Feel free to explore more, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
