Hi, there!
It's Giovanni ZHU.
A curious software engineer who believes the best digital solutions come from
understanding both cutting-edge technology and human creativity
-- powered by coffee, sunshine, and endless optimism.
Ready to innovate in Hong Kong's tech landscape
I'm Giovan Zhu, a recent MSc graduate from the University of Hong Kong with over two years of professional software development experience. Currently available for opportunities as of July 2025, I'm actively seeking my next challenge in Hong Kong's dynamic tech ecosystem after successfully contributing to platforms at China Telecom.
I'm particularly interested in roles where I can leverage my software engineering and system architecture background while contributing to Hong Kong's ongoing digital transformation initiatives. My experience spans from backend system optimization to frontend user experience enhancement, making me well-suited for diverse technical challenges in Hong Kong's competitive tech landscape.
Beyond my professional qualifications, I believe the best software solutions emerge from understanding both technology and human needs. When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring Hong Kong's incredible scene and working on exploring art of design and beauty. This balance of technical rigor and creative curiosity drives my approach to problem-solving and innovation in every project I undertake.

BEng in Measuring Control Technology & Instruments
Southeast University
A rich and unforgettable college life, it seems to have everything except money—friends, basketball, photography, freedom, and energy.
The super interdisciplinary major gave me the opportunity to explore almost all modern engineering courses.
I am glad that I eventually found my own path.
Core Coursework
Indirect Signal Recognition of Visual Aided Satellite Positioning
Capstone Project | Team Leader
Combine the camera with a satellite signal receiver. Extract the spatial environment's contour from the image, convert it into the satellite's occlusion perspective, and determine the satellite's position relative to the device using mathematical models and simulations based on satellite map data. This enables the filtering of satellite signals with erroneous reflections, thereby improving positioning accuracy.
Indirect Signal Recognition of Visual Aided Satellite Positioning
Final Year Project
Explore the implementation process and application conditions of path planning methods such as the A* algorithm and RRT algorithm in UAV applications. Use MATLAB to model the two-dimensional and three-dimensional working environments of UAVs, simulate the operational status of the algorithms under obstacle conditions, and evaluate the search efficiency and computational overhead of the algorithms.
China Telecom E Surfing IoT Tech Co., Ltd

Core Coursework
AI Recommendation for Business Owners on Promotion Campaigns
Dissertation
Developed a generative AI system that creates tailored marketing campaigns based on coupon and membership data. The system was fine-tuned on a pre-trained model using the QLoRA technique with 4-bit quantization, striking a balance between computational efficiency and recommendation quality. RAG was integrated into inference to incorporate merchant-specific historical data and real-time insights, thus maintaining context and enhancing relevance in the generated promotion strategies.
