Hi! My name is Zhirong. I am a game programmer, and I enjoy bringing together creative people from different fields to push the boundaries of art and technology.

I have experience developing 2D, 3D, and VR games, as well as animation demos in Unity. I’ve also worked with a custom game engine using mostly C++. Currently, I’m exploring more Unreal Engine projects, focusing on combat systems and the 3Cs: character, camera, and controls.

One of my favorite parts of game development is collaborating with creative people and bringing ideas to life. I also have some exciting game projects coming soon that I can’t wait to share!

Background: I'm a current grad student at University of Southern California, majoring in Computer Science (Game Development). I'm a PlayStation Career Pathways Scholar. I'm also a certified Scrum Master.

Secret talent: I have an offical WCA (World Cube Association) personal record of solving a 3x3 Rubik's Cube in 12.12 seconds. I also dabble in magic and have even fooled a few magicians at Magic Castle Hollywood.
