Curiosity in motion.

I’m Shijie Zhong — also known as Williams. I study Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich, build new ideas with ambitious teams, and bring the perspective of a former alpine ski racer to everything I do.

Different disciplines, one drive to understand and build.

My path crosses sport, science, technology, and leadership. Training and competing taught me precision and resilience; studying at ETH Zurich gives me new ways to examine how people move, learn, and make decisions.

I’m especially interested in AI and programming, and in working with people who turn thoughtful ideas into useful tools. I speak Mandarin, German, and English fluently and have built connections across China and Europe.

Ideas I’m bringing to life.

01 / Movement technology

Skiing sensor project

I initiated an early-stage project with a team at ETH Zurich. Full-body sensors collect movement data while software our team is developing analyzes skiing technique and precision. It connects first-hand experience in sport with technical exploration.

02 / Learning & AI

Lumi

Lumi is an iOS learning project I’m building around mental models. Its private TestFlight beta offers short daily concept cards, Socratic AI conversations, review exercises, and home-screen widgets to make reflective learning a regular habit.

Mathematics

A love of problem-solving

My mathematics competitions include a Carinthian state title, regional olympiad prizes, second place at Bolyai in 2025, and first places at Náboj in Villach in 2024 and 2025.

Competition shaped my perspective.

I trained with SC Gerlitzen in Austria, a club associated with Helmut “Heli” Mayer and Matthias Mayer. My training also included Race Center Benni Raich and the Hermann Maier Academy in Flachau.

Skiing has connected me with people, training environments, and information resources in China, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.

Let’s start a conversation.

I welcome thoughtful conversations about projects, technology, sport, and opportunities to collaborate.
