Yifan Qin

I have several years of software project experience. At Bansen Labs in the U.S., I was a core R&D contributor on Xogo, an accessible technology project supported by the NSF SBIR Phase II program. I primarily developed and integrated VR, mobile, web and cloud services.

The Xogo platform our team developed has received 12 international design and interaction awards, including Germany’s iF DESIGN AWARD. I also have experience in game development, software testing and interaction research.

I hold a master’s degree in Game Science and Design from Northeastern University and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park.

I like noticing details in everyday life and discovering problems and possibilities. Breaking a complex problem into smaller pieces, finding a workable approach and bringing an idea to life is the part I enjoy most.

Outside work, I enjoy games, cycling, hiking and photography. I’m curious about new technologies and other fields, and I care about whether the software I build solves real problems and helps the people who use it.
