Hi, I’m Jason Zeng, a game developer and software engineer based in Madison, Wisconsin. I enjoy building cross-platform experiences using Unity, Unreal Engine, and modern web technologies, focusing on performance, reliability, and fun player experiences.
Over the past few years I’ve contributed to teams in Shenzhen, Seattle, and Dallas, shipping features ranging from optimized rendering pipelines to secure live-update hotfix systems and OAuth2-driven authentication. I love learning new tools, collaborating with creative colleagues, and turning ambitious ideas into polished products.
