Jaye Cheng

I am a sophomore at the University of Washington. I am interested in Human Centered Design and Engineering, information/data visualization, and I am aspiring to work in VR and other parts of tech in the future!

I’ve grown up with computers since I was 8 years old. As a kid who would constantly break computers, I learned a lot about problem solving and being self-reliant when it came to fixing my own computer because my parents didn’t know a single thing when it came to tech.

Through that old PC, I immersed myself in many flash games and simple online browser games. I want to bring the same immersive and fun experience to those who will grow up with a VR headset on their heads.
