BANGRUI FANG

Software should feel inevitable.

I’m Bangrui — a second-year Computer Science student at McMaster University. I moved from Hefei, China to Toronto in 2019, and I’ve been building a life in Canada ever since.

I’ve thought computers were cool since I was a kid. That feeling hasn’t gone away.

Right now I’m most interested in concurrent systems and machine learning — the kind of problems where the difficulty isn’t writing the code, it’s understanding what’s actually happening underneath. I built a handwritten digit classifier from scratch just to see if I could, and a small collection of developer tools for the practice of it.

I don’t have a five-year plan. I’m still figuring out what kind of work I want to do — but I know I want it to be technically honest and actually useful.
