Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKenneth Tan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Singapore with five years of hands-on experience driving graphics and engine development for games and interactive experiences. Trained at DigiPen in Real-Time Interactive Simulation, he specializes in rendering pipelines, HLSL/GLSL shader work, and performance-critical C++ systems, with practical experience across DirectX, OpenGL, Unity, and UE4. His career includes contributions to high-profile studios (Crystal Dynamics, Skydance, Unity Technologies) and concrete work on VR optimizations and in-house engines for major titles. An active open-source contributor, he has improved Unity’s Scriptable Render Pipeline by fixing shadow/pixel-perfect camera bugs, adding graphics tests, and refining sprite shader features—showing both deep rendering knowledge and attention to robustness. Colleagues rely on him to bridge graphics research and production constraints, and he brings a persistent curiosity for new techniques in PBR, deferred shading, and engine tooling.
