Welcome to my personal website! My name is Rongze Liu, but you can call me Archer. I see myself as a geek among social scientists and a world observer among coders.

⏳ Age:

📍 Life route: 🏡 Lishui, CN → 🎓 Hangzhou, CN → 🍁 Vancouver, CA

Fun facts:

  • I started primary school before the age of 6 (technically illegal, but in the name of early learning passion😹).
  • In the past 5 years, I've explored 4 fields: 🥼 Chem & Bio → 🛍️ Advertising → 🛠️ Software QA → 📈 DS & ML.
  • In my free time, you'll find me testing my kitchen's fire alarm trying new recipes or playing video games. 🎮
