My name is Wei Zhang, but I also use my starbucks name Vera.

I'm a programmer during daytime and an artist at heart.

I started programming about 5 years ago.

I started painting about 2 years ago.

Relatively new in both fields.

But not hesitate to become master of both.

I scratched my head for writing this bio.

Then I thought why not make it a poem?

Though it doesn't have perfect rhythm.

Or it doesn't have rhythm at all.

Thank you for liking my art.

Though I don't know if you really like it or not.

I'd still appreciate, that you read this far.

这首小诗英文写成，总感觉翻译成中文就失去了它的韵味。

那么我用中文再自我介绍一下，我叫Vera Zhang。

我的工作是程序媛，业余爱好画画。

希望有一天能办上自己的画展，就这么简单。
