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!
Start Date: June 2026
Apr 2025 – Sep 2025
As a Software Engineer Intern at TicketBarber, I built the core payment infrastructure that handles multi-party fund distribution and a custom CRM system tailored to our application to provide event organizers with actionable insights.
Jan 2025 – Jun 2025
I collaborated with a team of five other interns to develop an inventory management system for Institute for Therapy through the Arts, replacing their manual, Excel-based inventory tracking process with a digital solution tailored for 100+ therapists. By implementing secure, role-based access and automating workflows like ordering and approvals, we enhanced data accuracy and empowered staff with better visibility and control.

At PATH, my primary responsibility was to enhance the application's frontend UI and integrated the AI model developed by our AI team into the user experience by wrapping it in a middleware API.
Jan 2025 – Present
As a Teaching Assistant for Programming Fundamentals II, I supported over 200 students by providing clear technical instruction on core programming concepts, including memory management, pointers, data structures, and object-oriented programming in C and C++.
A GPT-2-style language model built from scratch in PyTorch.
A Redis-compatible key-value store built from scratch in Java.
