About me
Shiyao Wang
Game Engineer，VR/AR R&D, Generalized Programmer
When I was a child, I liked to play games. Now I am glad to say, I have been playing video games for more than 20 years. I ended up being a game developer in China after I graduated from Jilin University. I am familiar with gaming issues, and also having a solid foundation of computer knowledge. I have a passion for computer, and quite enjoy the accomplishment after solving a problem which makes me a better engineer.
I came to Canada in 2015, and finished a thesis-based Master program in Memorial University in Newfoundland. My research field covers Microsoft HoloLens and telemedicine applications. After graduation, I joined Blueprint Reality Inc. for VR developing. We created a mixed reality platform called MixCast to help users grab mixed reality content when experiencing VR applications.
I then joined Hothead Games for mobile game developing in 2019. We created a casual baseball game released on iOS and Android platform, and ran it for two years. The game was also shifted to publish by Habby after one year. I also acted as the main coordinator as a native Chinese speaker.
After coming back to China due to COVID, I joined Unity China. I was asked to lead the team to create HMI showcase first and joined the team to improve Unity source code and implement Tuanjie engine.
Now I am back to my hometown and am looking forward to another challenge, which can enrich my knowledge and broaden my horizon. I am convinced that with my strong technical background, intelligence and diligence, and my enthusiasm for computer science, I will be an excellent engineer.
