Profile: https://flows.cv/yifengshi

Passionate about crafting immersive gaming experiences, I am a software engineer with a strong background in UI/UX development, gameplay programming, and localization systems. Currently, I contribute to the NBA 2K franchise at Visual Concepts, where I implement and optimize in-game menus, streamline user interactions, and enhance player accessibility through intuitive interfaces.

Beyond my industry experience, I have a Master’s in Entertainment Technology from Carnegie Mellon University and have contributed to research-driven game development projects. I thrive in cross-disciplinary teams, collaborating with artists, designers, and engineers to push the boundaries of interactive entertainment.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Visual Concepts
Jan 2020 – Present | Novato, California, United States

### Research Assistant @ Carnegie Mellon University
Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I continued working on the Unity game in the Audio GWAP team. Since we moved to fully remote work, instead of developing new features, I wrote the detailed technical documentation and comments for the coding base and a list of potential improvements for the game.

### Research Assistant @ Carnegie Mellon University
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I was working on the pre-production phase for the CMU HCII Audio GWAP team, with Professor Jessica Hammer. I have done several local network party games using TCP and UNet to accomplish a series of proof of concept playtests, and hand over to the next team.
