Active with the TGDP: Around 2005
BA in Linguistics (UT Austin)
Following graduation, Tan moved to Japan for a time, working as an English teacher, then a video-game translation manager, and finally a software manual translator and editor before returning to the United States in 2011. He currently works in the IT industry, which is about the only thing related to his involvement with the TGDP: he was for a short time the website administrator, updating content at the behest of the project director, Dr. Boas.
