About me

My name is Shane Yu, and I am a full-time employed senior software engineer who is very passionate about what I do.

I have been engineering software and web applications for over 15 years, but I first found my passion for it many years before. Although I am primarily a software and web engineer, I love to dabble with game development using Unreal Engine and Unity3D, with a dream of building and releasing my own game someday.

I have built this blog in order for my to share with you things I have learned or achieved as I am a strong advocate of supporting the software engineering industry, open source and all these great things.
