SWE Intern @ IBM | CS @ Northwestern University
Hi, I’m Liheng — a Computer Science major at Northwestern University graduating in December 2026.
I’m passionate about full-stack development and systems programming. I enjoy learning new technologies, collaborating on projects, and applying my skills to create real-world impact.
I'm always open to connecting with experienced software engineers and passionate computer science students!

I am an open source contributor to Burn, a deep learning framework written in Rust. I contributed to Burn because I believe Rust is the future of AI training and inference infrastructure. Rust's memory safety and compile-time concurrency checks translate to greater maintainability and easier refactoring for developers.

I engineered an OpenCL backend for a compiler, extending its hardware support to AMD and Intel GPUs.
Apr 2025 – Sep 2025
TicketBarber is a startup dedicated to provide event management services at lower fees. I worked on the payment system, the email notification feature and a CRM page.

I worked with 5 other Northwestern students to build an inventory management system serving 100+ therapists at a mental health nonprofit in Illinois.
Jan 2025 – Present
I teach students C/C++ fundamentals and debugging strategies, enabling them to independently write and troubleshoot functional code.
