Experience

Gameplay Engineer and Founder

• Developing a Battle Royale game in Unreal Engine with 5 levels that features a parkour system unique to every level, whilst addressing the theme of climate change through immersive gameplay mechanics and dynamic environments.

• Designed and implemented a multiplayer framework with C++, including responsive character controller, core mechanics, and intricate level designs. Continuously debugging and optimizing code to enhance performance and deliver a polished, engaging experience.

Teaching Assistant

• Led discussion sessions and delivered lectures to a class of 172 senior undergraduate students, showcasing strong leadership and effective classroom management. Observed over 25% increase in attendance over last quarter.

• Supervised 6 teams, providing mentorship and strategic guidance, effectively managing schedules, resolving conflicts, and ensuring timely completion of project milestones and helping the teams publish their games.

Senior Software Engineer

• Developed an AR application using Unity3D, Vuforia, ARCore, and Agora SDK to integrate real-time video calling and AR model replication for large-scale industrial machinery troubleshooting.

• Supported by a Node.js backend with a MongoDB database, the system enables real-time diagnostics, user activity tracking, and optimized performance leading to a 15% improvement in backend response times for seamless functionality and enhanced troubleshooting capabilities.

• Directed the end-to-end development of multiple cross-platform applications for Android and iOS using Temenos Quantum Visualizer and Fabric in the banking and manufacturing sectors.

• Enforced new modules, refined existing features, and achieved a 20% performance boost while also ensuring seamless integration with Xcode for iOS development.

• Configured and customized service orchestration and data integration workflows using Temenos Fabric tools such as Event Hub, Data Sources, and Identity Services, enabling improved decision-making and contributing to a 7% revenue increase.

• Collaborated with cross-functional teams (UI/UX and Web App teams) using Agile methodologies to refactor the existing codebase, integrate data from a cloud-based middleware, develop REST APIs for seamless communication, and executed Java services for data manipulation.

• Optimized backend performance by migrating from a legacy system to a cloud-based architecture in Kony Fabric, reducing data sync time by 40%.

• Led product development from conception to completion for a product serving 70,000 customers, actively implementing design changes based on user feedback while ensuring efficiency and testability through code reviews.

Projects

Carambola

• Developed an interactive educational VR game in Unreal Engine for Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro, designed around Chinese constellation folklore to promote cultural awareness and identity exploration among second-generation Chinese Americans.

• Utilized C++, Blueprints, and MetaXR for enhanced VR integration, bringing the concept to life with immersive interactions.

• Served as the sole programmer, responsible for implementing UI/UX, Animation and core gameplay mechanics, including puzzle systems and a responsive character controller, ensuring an engaging and immersive player experience.

• Deviation in cultural knowledge and awareness of participants after playing the game was approximately 3.193 and 4.404 respectively.

Bus Ticketing App

• Created a bus ticketing website using Angular, crafting a responsive user interface with seamless navigation and interactive features to enhance the booking experience. Implemented JWT-based authentication and OAuth for secure access, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity.

• Enriched deployment processes by implementing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Gradle, achieving a 10% reduction in deployment time.

• Streamlined backend data handling with ADO.NET, ensuring efficient database communication for real-time ticket availability and robust system performance, resulting in a 25% reduction in latency.
