Tools Sets Team- Lead a team of engineers to deploy solutions for Sets modeling, shading, and dressing as well as general pipeline technology.- Work with show leadership to address performance and workflow problems for Sets artists and downstream departments.- Helped with open-sourced Usd effort, primarily with third-party plugin development for Maya.

Emeryville, CA

Tools Sets Team- Worked specifically with the Sets department on modeling, shading, dressing, and general pipeline workflows- Developed a tool to improve layout and setdressing workflows by managing working sets spatially.- Developed a system to procedurally generate optimized representations for assets in Presto

Emeryville, CA

Tools Pipeline Team- Developed extendable frameworks for Maya, Presto, and Katana to integrate Usd.- Helped with deployment of Usd on feature films.- Developed tools to package and optimize assets for the film pipeline.

Worked on a micropolygon rendering pipeline:- http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/mprast/- http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/tzpyramid/

Help with teaching the lower division course on computer graphics.

Worked on improving and optimizing artist tools and workflows for Brave- Optimized a real-time shadow placements tool- Created a new tool to transfer vertex data between different meshes for rigging- Developed a simple framework to compare shots rendered with different motion-blur settings

- Taught weekly section.- Helped students in computer lab.- Worked on internal tools for grading, scheduling, and coordinating.

- Worked on new feature that allowed authors to create Apture links before publishing. This invovled writing an extension/plugin for Firefox/IE, creating an interface between different platforms, and working closely with our designer to get the right interface.- Improved integration with various frontends, for example supporting video time offsets on videos.

- Prototyped, designed, and implemented a new scalable and extendable backend storage system.- Wrote unit tests and performance tests for the storage system.

- Performed chip simulations to configure delay timing- Completed a lab experiment that studies the reliability of chips after prolonged stress
