Character technical artist. I work on our asset pipeline in Maya, Photoshop, and Substance, primarily, and dip my fingers into Unity for animation systems and character setup.Maya Python (QT/PySide), PyMEL, javascript, some light C++, C#, Windows Batch script.

Northborough, Ma, Us

They do not have a staff artist, so I do 3D modeling, shaders, VFX, lighting, and anything else they might need.

Los Angeles, Ca, Us

Worked on animation systems, pipeline development, shader design, and optimizations for an advanced AI chatbot built for webGL.

Los Angeles, California, Us

Optimization, rigging solutions, animation systems, pipeline improvements, and tools and skill support for the art team, working on an app-less mobile/browser game.

Worked on a number of VR applications that serve hospitals, first responders, and medical professionals around the country to do the best work they can do.I built custom shaders for PBR/SSS on mobile in URP, streamline asset integration, eliminate human error by simplifying and automating scene setup, and build complex animation systems for interactive, voice-controlled VR applications in Unity. I defined the pipeline for these things, designed the systems, and implemented them in code. I also provided support on team organization by writing rules and documentation for best practices for all sorts of art-related things, like directory structure/organization, naming conventions, and asset iteration and implementation, which helps speed up work by eliminating confusion. I specialized in building simple interfaces for complex systems and simplifying time-consuming, menial tasks while not sacrificing creative or organizational freedom. I also lead trainings on these systems for engineers and artists to empower their work and work across teams to integrate my systems with the larger picture.

Designed 3D animation pipeline using Maya and After Effects that displayed a variety of metric data in an easy-to-understand format, allowing designers and engineers to design behaviors for the semi-autonomous following robot, gita. 10-15 second videos (with 3 camera angles) were rendered in under 3 days in 4k using Arnold and After Effects with 3D link.I eventually redesigned that pipeline in Unreal4, where I was able to take the video creation time down to about 15 minutes from the time when I exported motion capture data from Vicon Shogun to when a fully rendered, 4k video with all data points was viewable. I did this by developing custom retargeting and cleanup tools in Maya, as well as a robust retargeting and automatic animation tweaking setup in Unreal, combined with render-to-textures and a whole lot of linear algebra.Other notable achievements: a fully-realized robot rig that functioned mechanically, and was driven by automation so it would balance itself given impulses and rotations. Functioned in Unity and Maya; a complete, textured character model and rig with custom clothing, designed in Maya, ZBrush, and Substance; CGI on a number of videos to prove concepts of new robot models.
