About Patrick Zhou
I'm passionate about creating and problem solving in many fields of software development. As an avid scripter, I enjoy automating things with code and have a wealth of experience in designing and writing Python scripts. My current passion is game development: I am currently developing Project Starhaven, a narrative-driven isometric space colony city builder, and have experience in game development with both Unity and Godot.
Outside of tech, I'm a tennis and fitness enthusiast, and a huge sci-fi and space nerd. Thriving off an interdiscplinary approach to creating and problem-solving, I am always seeking to incorporate my hobbies and my communities into the projects I create, including Project Starhaven and a freelance tennis coaching platform I cofounded. Check out my other projects in the Projects section below!
