An-Lon C. Email and Phone Number

My son was five months old when the pandemic hit. Though I have had childcare off and on throughout the pandemic, it did not feel reliable enough for a full-time jobsearch until now.

I worked with a team of researchers within the Johns Hopkins University Medical school to develop a web-based drug intervention program using animated avatars.

I was the illustrator and designer of the board book Carmin Cares and animator of the Carmin Cares book trailer. I also art-directed the next four books in the Pumpkinheads series: Ella Shares, Sage's Song, Danza's Message, and Love Monster Lulu.

I was the Crowds Technical Director for Shrek Forever After. My role ranged from user interface design to production support to shot production.
* Developed user interface to for cycle animators to visualize sequences of looping shots.* Supported crowd artists in the course of shot production, troubleshooting tools across the pipeline from animation to rigging to character effects to lighting and surfacing to asset management.* Ran crowd shots.* Did cleanup animation on crowd characters.

I was the massive Technical Director for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. My role ranged from R&D to shot production, and spanned nearly the entire course of the show. Using the pipeline and front end I helped create, our team of 4-10 artists was able to push out almost 170 massive shots in six months.* Developed an external pyQt-based GUI front end to massive, which allowed artists to pull assets into a scene, tweak simulation parameters, simulate and render scenes, and cull unwanted agents from a finished sim, all at the click of a button.* Developed a pipeline for running a massive cloth sim after the animation had been been approved.* Maintained several C++ dso's, which generated footstep, collision, and joint location data for massive agents, to be fed into houdini.* Ran shots for battle and marching sequences.* Provided technical support for a team of up to 9 other artists (excluding myself).

As a user interface developer, I supported numerous artist tools across the production pipeline. A few highlights include:* Created data visualization tools for the network and render farm, using Qt’s graphics programming libraries.* Maintained Digital Domain’s proprietary flipbook software, using C++, Qt, OpenGL, and Nuke’s image processing library, for features such as stereoscopic viewing, custom LUTs, and artist-requested user interface enhancements.* Maintained Nuke C++ plugins and Tcl scripts.

As a software applications developer, I provided research support for the Income and Benefits Policy and Justice Policy Centers at the Urban Institute.* Implemented C++ programming changes to a microsimulation model of welfare and tax policy.* Developed web applications using PHP and MySql.* Analyzed demographic data using Excel and SAS.

* Fundraising, event planning, and administrative responsibilities
