Programmer
Zhiguo Lai is a new game programmer, 3 years game designer, and 20 years game player. I become a game designer of Netdragon Websoft Inc after my graduation from the optic in Sichuan University because I was inspired by the fantastic game World of Warcraft which I have played for 9 years.
