Location: Binghamton, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/danielzheng

Versed in a variety of programming languages such as C/C++, Java, Python, and Lua.

I enjoy programming fun applications in my free time.
Recently, collaborated with another colleague to create a program in C that enables any window to become a DVD screensaver, bouncing around the screen.

I'm also passionate about Game Development and I'm currently working on a project in Unreal Engine 5. While I'm relatively new to Unreal, I've had years of experience with other engines like Roblox Studio and Unity, spearheading games and designing and implementing gameplay systems.

Open to virtual, hybrid, or on-site opportunities. Look forward to connecting with like-minded peers and industry professionals!
