I’m currently at Tencent, leading an AI-in-engine project. Previously, I spearheaded client-side technology for multiple online projects (including Onmyoji and Harry Potter) and several AAA games, with a focus on technical innovation. I also led the development of multiple middleware tools widely adopted in production. I have extensive practical experience and expertise in technologies such as global illumination, large-scale rendering performance optimization, differentiable rendering, AI-in-engine, and AIGC.
