Hi, I’m Shiyao Zhang, a curious and results-driven Computer Science graduate with a cross-cultural background (China–UK 2+2 program) and an MSc from the University of Warwick. I combine strong analytical thinking with hands-on experience in full-stack development, game design, and cybersecurity to build interactive, educational, and technically robust digital products using Unity, C#, and Node.js. I’ve designed scalable architectures and engaging user experiences—from a 3D multiplayer game with 60 players to a cybersecurity educational game with backend systems—while collaborating across teams. I’m actively seeking roles where I can translate complex technical ideas into playful, accessible solutions and contribute to innovative projects in gaming, education, or software development.
