Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSiyu Zhang is a Game Client Engineer at Lightspeed Studios (Tencent) with a decade of software experience and a strong academic background in visual computing from UC Berkeley and computer science (honors) from the University of Pittsburgh. She focuses on GPU optimization and physics-based simulation for games, having implemented PBD, FEM and other physics-based animation methods in production-like settings and internships. Siyu contributes to open-source front-end projects such as WebF, improving layout and rendering accuracy (including getBoundingClientRect and scroll/transform edge cases) which reflects a practical attention to precision across rendering stacks from WebAssembly to OpenGL and Unity. Based in Los Angeles, she blends hands-on engine-level performance work with web/WASM/graphics tooling, and has experience building cloth simulation plugins and visualization tools in Houdini. Her combination of rigorous research-driven development and real-world game-engine optimization means she often bridges the gap between academic techniques and production constraints.
