Biography

Hi, I’m Jiadong Chen (@chen_jd). I’m an experienced .NET Developer and Microsoft MVP since October 2015. And my last job was for Unity, the creator of the world’s most widely-used real-time 3D development platform, as a Field Engineer. As a Field Engineer at Unity, I provided in-depth consultation and support to developers who use Unity for their games and simulations dev. And provide on-site support for enterprise customers such as Tencent, Perfect World, Seasun, review their projects, find and solve the performance issues.

I have participated in the Unite Conf(Beijing & Shanghai) twice as a speaker. And I attended the Microsoft Ignite the Tour Beijing conf as a speaker, too.

Before joining Unity, I was a game programmer and the organizer of the Beijing Unity User Group(UUG). I like to write technical blogs (of course mostly in Chinese), and my first book about Unity was published in 2016. Besides, I got my first Microsoft MVP Award in 2015.
