Hey there!

I'm Chris Li

Master of Computer Science student at the University of Sydney and AZ-104 certified. I've built data pipelines for environmental monitoring, contributed to internal engineering tools at China Railway, and shipped a full-stack French learning platform from scratch. I enjoy creating intuitive, efficient solutions and turning ideas into working applications. Always curious, always learning.

Away from the screen, I spend much of my time with music. I play the piano and the Guqin — a traditional Chinese instrument whose quiet elegance reminds me to slow down and focus.

I'm fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, and speak intermediate French. I value empathy and clarity, and friends often turn to me for advice — not because I know everything, but because I listen and think things through. I believe kindness and composure matter, both in code and in life.

My career so far

I've worked across Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, and PHP — building web apps, data pipelines, mobile apps, and internal tools.

Currently solo-building Atelier (french.chrisverse.uk), a CEFR-graded French learning platform with 240 lessons, 20+ exercise types, and a custom JWT auth + multi-plan subscription system.
