Summary
Justin Shi is a full‑stack software engineer with a decade of experience specializing in VR and social/creative game systems, having driven core features and infrastructure for Horizon Worlds at Meta. He blends systems-level technical design with front-end UX, leading migrations to React VR, optimizing world-load privacy logic to cut costs and speed loads, and shipping event and rewards systems end-to-end. A two-time intern manager and former teaching assistant, he pairs product execution with mentorship and a growing focus on game development education as he returns to graduate study at USC. Based in Los Angeles, he combines enterprise-scale engineering chops from Meta and Nasdaq with academic roots from Yale, and quietly favors projects that intersect media, interactive UI, and measurable performance gains.
