Yilin Wang is a student programmer at ETC. She loves games so that she interned at Qingguo, a game development company in China, in summer 2018. From Qingguo, she learnt the basic pipeline of the game development and she discovered her interest in creating new virtual worlds for others. As a result, she applied to ETC and decided to not only continue improving her programing skill but also continue creating new virtual experiences.

In those worlds, the work she does include networking, audio input detection, UI implementation and audio and animation implementation. Prior to ETC, she graduated from Smith College with a degree in Mathematics and a degree in computer science.
