What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in game development, focusing on innovative projects and team collaboration.

With over 10 years in the interactive computing industry, I have honed my skills in game development, particularly in computer graphics, physics/math simulations, and gameplay programming. My work has led to the successful deployment of commercial products on both Apple and Android platforms, earning numerous accolades. I excel in environments that challenge me to solve complex problems, especially in cross-platform multiplayer game development and live operations.

At MPL, I played a pivotal role in developing an AAA-level quality game using Unreal Engine 4.26, implementing a robust multiplayer system that synchronized gameplay across multiple clients. My experience extends to creating a Content Delivery System and utilizing version control systems to enhance collaboration. Previously, at The Virtulab, I optimized networking for a Metaverse application, supporting over 5,000 concurrent users, and led the development of an Audio/Video Conferencing System, ensuring high-quality user experiences.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on maintaining high coding standards and fostering a culture of excellence within my teams. I have led teams in implementing Test Driven Development practices, significantly improving feature development and bug resolution. My passion for mentoring junior developers and streamlining processes has been a key aspect of my professional journey.
