Bio
Kai Ting Yen
I had the pleasure of working with Adam Amos on our Final Project game Ludus Magnus. I spent 5 months working with Adam on this project. Adam is a diligent worker that is willing to take on additional tasks for other overworked programmers on the team. Adam was our Asset Integration Lead and worked closely with the game artists on our team with Maya 2009. He set up the entire animation system that does skinning on the GPU and animation blending. Adam has additional skills in debugging and helped up fixed a horrible heap corruption bug we had in the game. Adam has a friendly personality and everyone in the team gets along well with him. Always approachable and willing to learn/help on tasks, Adam has been the go-to guy for fixing bugs in the system. Adam designed and programmed the minigames we used in our game. Adam is an asset to every programming team because of his willingness to learn and good work ethics.
