About

Hi, I'm Zehao! I'm a full-stack developer with a background in geology, based in Austin, TX. At the USGS I build and maintain the Coastal Change Hazards Portal, which provides coastal hazards data to coastal managers and communities.

The rest of the time: photographing people, dancing, and traveling.

Photography

When I'm not at my desk, I take natural, colorful photos of people.
Portraits, couples, events, cosplay at conventions.

Static CCH Portal Viewer

A serverless re-implementation of the Coastal Change Hazards Portal's interface: same catalog, map tiles, and legends from the live USGS services, served from a static host with no backend of its own.
