Thuan Do The is a passionate self-taught senior Flash developer who fell in love with programming in the age of MS-DOS and Turbo Pascal. He inadvertently discovered the beauty and power of Flash, started to learn 2D animation and ActionScript, and then got his first professional job in 2007.

During his career, he has built numerous interactive websites, media players, galleries, and rich Internet applications and started several open source projects on http://github.com/thienhaflash.

Thuan started to play with Unity when Unity 2.6 was released and never looked back. Being attracted by the power of the Unity platform, he stopped working on Flash to completely focus on Unity games.
