As a Realtime Software Developer specializing in creating cutting-edge Pipeline tools and plugins within the Unreal Engine ecosystem, I harness the power of C++ and Blueprints to innovate and push the boundaries in real-time rendering and interactivity. My work focuses on optimizing workflows and enhancing the creative capabilities of artists and developers alike, bridging the gap between technical prowess and artistic vision.During my time at DNEG, I undertook the ambitious project of solo developing an entire Previs pipeline between Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine. This initiative was driven by a desire to streamline workflows, enhance collaboration and the quality of Previs. By identifying key bottlenecks and leveraging my deep understanding of both platforms and from my previous experience as an animator, I designed a suite of tools that significantly improved project turnaround times and provided unparalleled creative freedom for artists. My technical toolkit encompasses industry-standard software and programming languages including Unreal Engine 5, Autodesk Maya, Python, C++, PySide, Qt Designer, Git, and Perforce. This diverse skill set enables me to tackle complex challenges and contribute to various aspects of project development.My journey in the film industry involves contributions to 13 notable films including Black Panther, Aquaman, Avengers: End Game, Godzilla vs. Kong, Marvel’s Shang-Chi, and more. These projects not only showcase my versatility and devotion to excellence but also my ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams to bring cinematic visions to life.As a Lead Visualization Artist, it was a great honor to help lead a team of artists to receive a VES nomination for Outstanding Virtual Cinematography in a CG Project for our work on "Godzilla v. Kong". This recognition reflects our team's commitment to redefining the boundaries of virtual cinematography, merging technical innovation with narrative creativity. I've was a privilege to lead several teams across multiple projects, honing my leadership skills and fostering an environment of creativity and collaboration. This experience has not only sharpened my project management abilities but also deepened my understanding of the previsualization process.My generalist CG knowledge includes a strong foundation in Maya and Unreal Engine, which allows me to adopt a holistic approach to project development. Whether it's modeling, animation, or lighting, I bring a comprehensive perspective to every project, ensuring a cohesive and visually stunning final product.

Listed skills include Film Production, Photoshop, Autodesk Maya, Adobe After Effects, and 33 others.
