ABOUT ME

From my first freelance project at 16 to being recognized for contributions to simulation technology at the 2025 Sci-Tech Awards and having my work showcased at SIGGRAPH 2023, my career has been driven by a single goal: pushing the technical boundaries of digital production to create smarter, more efficient ways to deliver complex assets.

​

With over a decade of experience in VFX and Game Dev, I provide a unique blend of anatomical precision and technical automation. My recent work focuses on CFX, Rigging, Automation, and ML deformation, ensuring that complex organic movements are both visually stunning and technically optimized for AAA performance.

​

Technical Expertise:

  • DCC & Engine: Maya, Houdini, Unreal Engine, 3ds Max.

  • Sim & Deformation: Houdini OTIS, Ziva VFX, Ziva RT, Wrap4D.

  • Automation & Pipeline: Python/PySide, MEL, Deadline, Linux environment.

  • Modeling & Anatomy: Excellent anatomical knowledge, organic, hard surface, and procedural modeling.

  • Leadership: Mentoring artists, troubleshooting complex production bottlenecks, and departmental R&D.

 

I am dedicated to evolving the CFX specialization through automation and machine learning, ensuring that the next generation of digital assets is more lifelike and efficient than the last.
