About

Hi, Iโ€™m Harrison ๐Ÿ‘‹

Harrison Chen / Haox โ€” a game developer based in Taipei, Taiwan.

Iโ€™ve spent 7+ years at Akatsuki Taiwan building games with Silver Lining Studio โ€” shipping titles like Behind the Frame and The Star Named EOS โ€” and more recently going full-stack: architecting Go backend services and LLM-powered tools as a solo engineer.

I love games, I make games, and when Iโ€™m not doing either, Iโ€™m probably at a concert.

What I Do

  • Game Development โ€” Unity (7+ years): gameplay, character animation (Playables / Spine), shaders & rendering, audio, input systems. Shipped on Steam, iOS/Android, Switch, and PS4/PS5.
  • Backend โ€” Go & Python: high-throughput transactional services, FastAPI microservices โ€” owning architecture, security, and deployment end to end as sole engineer.
  • AI / LLM โ€” LangChain multi-agent orchestration; built an internal enterprise knowledge assistant solo, from prototype to release.
  • DevOps โ€” GitHub Actions CI/CD: fully automated Unity builds with Steam deployment, Docker, GCP.

Some of their MVs I keep coming back to (all links go to their official YouTube):
