About

Hi, I’m Oscar Yu, a software engineer specializing in gameplay programming. I’m a problem solver and fast learner who thrives on turning creative ideas into polished game systems. My experience spans Unity 3D, UI, and live-ops work on mobile titles, with a focus on robust gameplay, performance, and anti-cheat measures.

I’ve shipped titles and contributed to Steam indie projects and community-driven mods, always collaborating across teams to deliver quality features. I’m fluent in English and Mandarin and enjoy optimizing tools and pipelines to accelerate development.
