Procedural systems and real-time pipelines across VFX, environment, and tools development.

Works across games, XR, and digital twin productions. Clients include NASA, Meta/Blumhouse, FAA, and Deloitte.

Core toolset: Houdini (VEX, Python, HDAs), HLSL and Compute shaders, Unity C# editor tooling, Unreal materials and Niagara.

Shader work operates below the engine layer — render pipeline differences between Unity and Unreal are an interface concern, not a context switch.

→ Procedural scene generation
→ Integration, pipeline, optimization
→ Real-time VFX, shaders, simulations
→ VEX, HDAs, data-driven systems
→ C# editor tools, Python automation

FolderTree.Parser — Folder Structure CLI Tool for Project Organization

FolderTree.Parser is a folder structure CLI tool designed to keep project directories organized and easy to document. When working with many tools, scripts, and projects, folder structures tend to grow and become hard to track. Update (v2.1) FolderTree.Parser v2.1 extends the original CLI tool with semantic analysis of file paths and Markdown-based exports. The update focuses on extracting structure and meaning from real project folder trees, without changing the CLI-only wo

FX Flame simulation vertex animation

In this short video, I present a quick overview of the "Camp Fire" FX creation process using Vertex Animation techniques. I used Houdini 20.5 with Sparse Fire Simulation and upres techniques for Unreal Engine 5.4 with Lumen and Unity URP/HDRP 2022.3.4. Watch as I showcase key steps, including geometry preparation, loop animation, shader creation, and particle system building for sparks, hot air convection, and burnout sticks. Like this post?

Houdini to After Effects Tool

This Houdini tool was built to export animation and data from Houdini into Adobe After Effects in a clean and predictable way. When working with simulations, procedural animations, or technical setups, it’s often necessary to bring motion data into compositing tools. Doing this manually or through ad-hoc scripts quickly becomes error-prone and hard to maintain. This tool provides a simple and structured way to export data from Houdini and reconstruct it inside After Effects,
