Technical Artist with 6+ years in real-time production and nearly two decades in computer graphics. I work across Houdini, Unity, Unreal, and other proprietary engines — building real-time VFX, shaders, and procedural pipeline tools that bridge art and engineering.

Rule-driven level layout, modular structures, prop scatter, and Houdini to Unreal/Unity pipelines for building real-time worlds. Each entry documents the mechanism behind the result, not only the result.

Short loop studies collected during day-to-day practice: particles, fluids, destruction, fire, weather, and simulation tests. These are working shots rather than polished case studies.
Reusable utilities, production helpers, and game-ready assets. Each entry includes implementation notes rather than only a download link.

gpu / api / optimizationThe pattern repeats across every project regardless of studio size: find the production bottleneck, build the tool or system that removes it, then document it well enough to survive without me in the room. I treat pipelines as contracts — registries, naming conventions, data-driven inputs — because that is what keeps a system predictable as a team grows around it. This site is where that documentation lives: breakdowns, R&D notes, and the reasoning behind each system, not just the finished result.
That approach has shipped inside commercial XR and interactive work — the Emmy-nominated Blumhouse Enhanced Cinema for Meta at Nexus Studios, and the NASA First Woman XR platform, recognized with American Advertising Awards — both balancing visual fidelity against strict real-time performance budgets across multiple hardware targets.
Open to collaboration on technical art, procedural systems, real-time VFX, engine-facing workflows, and production tools.
