Led the development of multiple large-scale 3D asset processing pipelines for core AI features across multiple flagship Meta Quest VR releases. Collaborated with cross-functional teams and external vendors while developing and ensuring consistency and quality standards throughout.Authored multiple large-scale 3D content processing pipelines for converting and ingesting thousands of 3D assets from multiple 3rd party vendors and content sources, including procedural asset generation from scratch in Houdini, developing and ensuring standards for consistency, quality and photorealism throughout.Developed a synthetic hair simulation pipeline for ML model training to generate photorealistic hair representations live in AR/VR devices for Meta's Codec Avatars technology.

Procedural synthetic data generation in Houdini and Unreal for Machine Learning and Computer Vision training and development across a variety of clients. Notable projects include a 1:1 recreation of the streets of Manhattan in Houdini using GIS data and procedural generation, training an AI model to detect hidden explosive ordinaces in conflic zones via drone to save lives, generating 1:1 CG replicas and simulations of convenience stores for cashierless shopping experiences, and training delivery robots to recognize and maneuver through street obstacles and obstructions.
