About

I'm Garfield Zhu, an ordinary yet laid-back software engineer.

My professional drive stems from the thrill of crafting fresh and engaging code, fueled by daily doses of lattes. Outside of work, I find joy in basking in the afternoon sun and exploring the enchanting realms of video games, as well as animation. Occasionally, I also indulge in the vibrant warmth of passionate moments. Life, to me, is a balance of coding adventures and the simple pleasures of existence.

At the early stage of my career, I was passionate about exploring and comparing different tech stacks such as Java, C++, Python, and JavaScript to determine which was superior.

Later, I found myself diving into the "keyboard battles" between Angular and React, and the endless debates between Golang and Rust, each with its loyal apologists of developers.

After years, I realized that I'm actually skilled at writing code with hammers, drills, saws, and coffee. Now, despite the appearance of being busy building a spaceship, I found my stack is surprisingly a NULL.

"I've traveled from Boletaria to the Lands Between, linked the fire from Lordran to Lothric, and strolled through the alleys of Yharnam to beneath the walls of Ashina Castle. Each time comforting my weariness aside a flickering bonfire in the darkness, my soul strengthens, driving me forward with unwavering determination."

I'm a big fan of Mr. Hidetaka Miyazaki as well as all his "Soul" games. Trust me, if you manage to conquer a Souls-like game someday, you will not only be a gamer who cultivates a different appreciation for the games, but also be a connoisseur of life who passionately embraces every moment.

Long may the sun shine!
