Andrew Zhang

Full-stack developer building event & ticketing systems — B.S. Mathematics–Computer Science, UC San Diego.

I design and ship end-to-end products: React/TypeScript front ends, FastAPI and Node backends, and the AWS infrastructure that runs them. Most recently I've been building event-ticketing platforms — from a personal project to a system now serving 800+ students.

Experience

Web Development Lead

CSSA, UC San Diego

  • Led the 0-to-1 development of an event ticketing platform based on my personal project, Event Master, now serving 800+ users; personally implemented ~80% of the system, including the entire backend, cloud deployment, and core frontend data flow.
  • Built organizer-facing features: event creation and modification, QR-code–based attendee check-in, pre-purchase survey collection, real-time ticket sales analytics, and standard/VIP ticket configuration.
  • Built attendee-facing features for browsing events, purchasing tickets, and receiving confirmation emails with embedded images and unique QR codes.
  • Established a production-ready engineering workflow: CI/CD pipelines, local development environments, database migrations, and AWS IAM users for access control.

Backend Developer

ACM, UC San Diego

  • In the Hackathon Portal (Node.js + TypeScript), implemented multiple API endpoints with database access, validation, and permission checks; merged and deployed to production.
  • In the Membership Portal (Node.js + TypeScript), upgraded the local/dev PostgreSQL Docker image from 11.5 to 17.6; diagnosed test failures caused by DB behavior differences, confirmed no functional impact, and updated tests to restore a clean local run.
  • Resolved Git merge conflicts for an AWS SDK upgrade PR in the Membership Portal after the main branch changed, unblocking the merge.

  • Built and deployed a full-stack, Ticketmaster-like app for event browsing, ticket booking, and organizer event publishing (Vercel + AWS EC2, Dockerized backend).
  • Developed FastAPI + SQLAlchemy services backed by MySQL (many-to-many schema) with server-side filtering/sorting; integrated Redis for OTP and AWS S3 (private bucket) for media storage.
  • Implemented JWT authentication + RBAC for access control, email verification and booking confirmations via the Gmail API, and optimized client data fetching with React Query.
