Member of the Research and Development team from 2005 until 2013. During that time I worked on both functionality for ILM’s core technology as well as in the Lighting/2D teams developing new artist tools, features and providing support to production. My concentration was on UI work, but I also proved to be adept at tackling large and complex code bases in order to deliver the best solution for the problem.* Developed a node.js and jquery based web application for GUI testing of applications at ILM.* Part of the small team responsible for developing a new material system for ILM used for the Hulk skin in the 2012 movie The Avengers.* Responsible for development and maintenance of the ILM lighting and rendering system for much of its life cycle.* Part of the core R&D team who moved over 4 million lines of code over to use Qt.

Reactrix produces interactive projection systems used for entertainment and advertising. * Worked with artists to create a tools roadmap for the company. These tools allow artists to author content for an existing core effects engine. * Led development of an application framework in Python and PyQt to meet the needs of the tools roadmap.* Developed an application to meet the immediate needs of the artists. This tool manages complex dependency graphs of data and properties, allowing editing of new or exiting content.

Member of the Production Tools group working on software infrastructure for the Matrix movies and other Warner Bros. titles. * Implemented key components necessary to integrate Maya with the production DB using MEL/Maya API through collaboration with CG leads. Additional scripts written for production as needed. * Worked closely with the Virtual Background team to dramatically improve the VB workflow in Catwoman with two new applications. * Wrote and maintained the ESC Production DB browser and associated tools that allowed tracking of assets, tagging with custom data and searching. * Developed system tools for render farm status monitoring.

Us

* Introduced an XML-based framework for fast application development.* Architect of new document/view architecture.* Developed a dynamic UI layout engine as well as many custom controls.* This development work later shipped as SoundSoap

At Pulse I was an integral part of the small engineering team, responsible for improving core technology and for developing tools to translate data from 3rd party applications to the Pulse platform. * Solely designed and implemented a complete, integrated plug-in for 3D Studio Max. Marketed as "Pulse Producer", this plug-in ships in the box with Max and allows users direct delivery of scene, animation and sound data into Pulse's online 3D technology. Multiple release cycles for English and Japanese markets. * Developed a translator plug-in for Maya able to export geometry (transform nodes, surfaces, textures, cameras, blend shape targets and skin binding) and animation (Trax based clip animation mapped into the Pulse non-linear animation system). Shipped on Maya 4 CD. * Implemented support for Maya data types in Pulse core technology, including transform nodes to preserve Maya scene graph and engineered a new deformation architecture.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, Us

Computer vision work on 'shape from shading' for the Department of Psychology's Vision Sciences Lab. This work was aimed at quantifying theories about the nature of human perception with regard to shading cues that are neighboring detected contrast features. * Principal investigator on core image processing algorithms. * Developed an interactive software tool for visualizing and analyzing shading data.
