Muru Chen is an Interactive Engineer based in San Jose with 7 years of experience specializing in gameplay programming and computer graphics. Trained as an interactive media artist (BS, NYU Shanghai) and holding an MS in Entertainment Technology from Carnegie Mellon, she bridges creative design and low-level implementation using Unity, C++, OpenGL, and Lua. Her background leading technical design on metaverse projects and scripting gameplay systems (behavior trees, FSMs, animal AI) enables her to translate designer intent into robust engine-level features. At TikTok she applies AR and interactive engineering skills to production-scale experiences, drawing on prior leadership as a TD lead across multiple game projects. Colleagues describe her as a cross-disciplinary collaborator who combines artistic sensibility with practical systems thinking to make playful, technically sound interactions.
