Hi there ~ My name is Hongyu Hè \ˈho:nˌu hə\ . I’m a reader, hiker, runner, computer scientist, and engineer based in New Jersey 🇺🇸. Before coming to the states, I dropped out of law school (🇨🇳) and moved to Europe (🇳🇱, 🇨🇭) for seven amazing years! In Amsterdam, I worked as a kitchen cleaner for Loetje and a delivery rider for Uber Eats in my first two jobs. I was a ok-ish biker 🚲 but a great dishwasher 🍽️!

// Oh, and “Hè” is somehow my last name, not my pronoun :)

I’m crazy about doing all kinds of sports 🏀 🏃 🏓 🏊 🧘 🎳 🏸 ♟️, and I started violin at age eight 🎻. Also, I love learning new languages, and currently, I’m tackling German (~B1 level).

In May 2023, I ran 11km (up mountains!) in 45min in the SoLa relay race as part of the Systems Group @ ETH.

I love my mom more than anything in the world combined ❤️👩.
