Hi there. I am a passionate gameplay programmer from Shanghai, China. Although I came from a background of computer science degree in my undergraduate, I begin to learn artistic skills because I do not want to limit myself to programming. Game is a lovely birth from both art and science. That's why I am pursuing the track of a technical artist. Working among different disciplines is amazing.
