Zicheng Xu is on job market: Due to an unexpected layoff, Zicheng Xu is now on the job market. He has my strongest endorsement and I picked him from a pool of ~30 internal candidates (based on his coding skills, dedication, enthusiasm, etc.). One of our biggest ideas from Part 2.2 also comes directly from Zicheng. His performance is meet or above expectation so this layoff is very sudden and unexpected (he's not the only one impacted). If interested in this project or hiring him, contact him at zichengBxuB42@gmail.com (remove the capital 'B').
