Chen Zhao is a founder and AR specialist with a decade of experience building consumer-facing augmented reality products and teams, previously leading AR at NetEase and co-founding a Series-A spin-off. He combines an HCI research background (CHI/CSCW publications) and product-first engineering, having moved from academic interactive systems to commercial AR/Metaverse ventures. Hands-on in front-end engineering and open source, he has contributed practical TypeScript and H5 improvements to the widely used Taro cross-platform framework. Based in China, he blends systems architecture, NUI/AR product strategy and partner management while still shipping code and prototypes. An uncommon strength is his trajectory from research publications and hackathon wins to raising venture capital and launching consumer AR startups.
