Recommendation:  "Tien was phenomenal as a graphic artist at Supermicro. His incredible productivity in cranking out high-quality graphics and multi-media collateral at warp speed was amazing! He contributed excellent creative ideas and suggestions, many of which unfortunately went unheeded; nevertheless, he always continued to produce tons of high-quality results every day. When Tien moved on from Supermicro, we dearly missed him. I recommend him without even a hint of reservation." July 26, 2007
