Professional Summary

Second-year BA in Humanities and Digital Technologies student at The University of Hong Kong, a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary programme in Asia that fuses humanities training with digital technologies, data literacy, AI, and project-based learning to cultivate innovative problem-solvers. Also pursuing a second major in Computer Science.

Focused on video game development, VR, and interactive media, with hands-on experience in C++, C#, Unity, and Unreal Engine. I come at technology from two directions at once: CS gives me the tools to build, HDT and philosophy give me the framework to question what I'm building and for whom. That combination shows up in everything from game mechanics to VR environments to AI tooling. I lead, I ship, and I don't stop at "does it work."
