Top SchoolYichen Shou is a Senior Gameplay Programmer with 11 years in software and over 6 years delivering live-service and MMORPG features at AAA studios. He specializes in translating designer intent into robust, high-performance systems across client and server, from mini-games and achievements to movement, camera, and networked state machines. At ZeniMax he built key systems like an account-wide achievements backend (reducing DB footprint by up to 18x), a keyframe card-animation pipeline, and tooling for designers in a proprietary ECS. Comfortable prototyping and shipping across the stack, he pairs academic training in game technology with production experience in live services and cross-team collaboration. Now based in Durham and working at AGBO, he brings a pragmatic focus on iteration speed and debugging ergonomics that stems from both gameplay engineering and prior AR/VR prototyping work.
