Jeromy Zhang


Hi! I am Jiandong (Jeromy) Zhang, an AR/VR Graphics Engineer at Apple, Inc. Prior to this, I earned my M.S. in Computer Science from Northeastern University, Seattle campus in 2023, and my B.Eng in Computer Software Engineering from Southeast University in 2021.

I am highly interested in most areas of computer science, with a particular interest in computer graphics and AR/VR. I have experience working on various projects related to game engines such as Unity3D, Unreal Engine, and Cocos2dx. Additionally, I have a solid understanding of OpenGL, WebGL, Vulkan, and Metal. I hope to maintain my passion for computer graphics and pursue relevant job opportunities in the future.

In addition to computer graphics, I am also interested in backend development technologies such as distributed systems and networking. I enjoy and am proficient in using languages such as C/C++, Objective-C, Python, Java, Javascript/Typescript, Swift, and Rust. My favorite programming language is Rust!

Previously, I have worked in various positions related to artificial intelligence, natural language processing, game and graphics development, and front-end development at Microsoft, Tencent Games, Taichi Graphics, Apple, and Google.

In addition, I have been quite heavily involved in algorithm competitions during high school and college. I received a first prize in the National Olympid Informatics (NOIp) during high school and won a gold medal in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM-ICPC) as well as the Chinese Collegiate Programming Contest (CCPC) in my sophomore year of college.
