Biography

My name is Minjang Jin, and I am from South Korea. I have been living in Vancouver for 4 years, and I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in game programming from Lasalle College Vancouver. Initially, I was highly interested in games, and I have dreamed of being a game programmer since childhood and motivated by old RTS games. Unfortunately, a controversy over the game addiction problem was burning in my country when I was a high school student. The controversy influenced my family such as they dislike games, so I had no chance to learn programming in the past. Even though I decided to get a different major, I didn’t enjoy the major. I persuaded my parents to talk about what I must do. Therefore, I started a new life as a programming student in Vancouver. When I first started, I did not know anything about programming, but I gained programming knowledge from good teachers. I particularly liked the AI programming course. I learned about different graph algorithms including A*, which finds the shortest path using a heuristic cost to cut down search time. I have also learned and built other AI systems including steering, FSM, and perception.
