Adam Oresten

I joined Rocksteady Studios as a Technical Animator, and was later promoted to a Senior Technical Animator. When I joined, I took over responsibility maintaining our Motionbuilder tools, where I delivered a number of tools and solutions to make our animators' life easier. Over the course of the project, I've rigged half a dozen hero-level characters, and several gameplay and cinematic assets.

During my free time, I like to play Dungeons & Dragons and take the role of the Dungeon Master, the creator and narrator. In order to make my worlds more immersive, I decided to start tracking time in the fantasy world, and that goal needed a system to support it. Over time, the project grew and gained more and more features, until it became a standalone service used by over ten thousand people worldwide.

I created it from scratch, and later on I brought on another person to help me with the back-end, while I kept to the front-end and the calendar code itself.
