I’m Lucas (Zijian) Zhu, a mobile and front-end developer with over nine years of experience delivering high-performance apps and intuitive interfaces. I specialize in cross‑platform mobile development with React Native and Flutter, and I also build robust Android native modules using Kotlin and Java. I enjoy optimizing performance, architecting serverless backends, and managing data with Realm, MongoDB, and SQLite to create smooth, scalable user experiences. Recently I contributed to FarmersEdge and previously worked at Meituan, Tantan, and other tech leaders, turning complex requirements into polished products. I’m excited about opportunities as a Software Developer (Mobile, Front-end or Full Stack) and collaborating with teams to deliver impactful, user‑centric software.
