Led a small team of technical artists, organizing tasks, teaching techniques, and providing feedback.Designed and implemented a shader based fog of war system for our world building game. Designed and implemented a terrain system using complex shaders to blend terrain tiles in an aesthetically pleasing way that works for mobile.Designed and implemented lighting pipeline to bake light maps and vertex colors that work best with mobile.Designed sequences and implemented code driven animation and effects for our mobile puzzle game. Various shaders for environment and character lighting and effects.Worked closely with engineers implementing technical visual effects and animation for runtime.Performed graphics and memory profiling for our mobile game. Created various art asset pipeline scripts in Unity C#Instructed artists on various techniques and tools including Unity, Maya and Git.

Created python tool for streaming in terrain tiles in Maya to allow artists to reference world terrain in their scene based on current camera position. Created C++ interface for accessing libraries in Maya python using Boost Python. Created a tool to procedural construct models and textures for runway signage based on text input. Added features and user interface improvements to fairly complex C++ QT tool.

Worked on custom animated constraint system in Maya that supported several types of constraints. System allowed the user to conveniently activate and release constraints at certain times. Constraints were built so they could be easily exported, swapped, and debugged.
