Bio
Greg Heddlesten
Thien is great at communicating with design to understand the feature he is working on. He will often offer options and/or recommendations to help bring the cost of a feature down (while keeping the feature's intent intact) or to gain a work flow benefit for designer during content creation and/or tuning..
Peter Lehman
Thien is a really gifted software engineer. I've had the privilege of working with him as a sound designer with Thien in the role of developing technology to manipulate audio realtime in video games. Thien has always amazed me with his ability to quickly understand the creative vision and code a solution that not only meets the design, but usually exceeds it. He is also one of the nicest guys I've met and it is a pleasure to work with him. I hope to work with him again in the future many times! I highly recommend Thien! Pete Lehman Sound Designer/Composer
