About
I’m Yuchen Xue (Jeffrey), a Unity-focused game developer and designer with five years of hands-on experience building prototypes and shipped games. I blend programming, gameplay design, and 3D art to create immersive experiences, often exploring AI integration and procedural systems.
I studied at Carnegie Mellon University and Parsons School of Design, working on independent and collaborative projects, including a 3D narrative puzzle game Star Ring and AR experiences. I’m passionate about crafting intuitive gameplay and polished UI, and I enjoy collaborating with artists and engineers to bring ambitious ideas to life.
