Houdini pipeline development, real-time VFX systems, HLSL shader authoring, and custom tool creation for Unity and Unreal Engine. Delivered XR cinematic experience for Meta Quest 3 (Meta × Blumhouse) — real-time VFX, 4K video streaming, GPU optimization on standalone hardware. Premiered at Meta Connect.

Led technical art, Houdini pipeline architecture, shader development, and internal tooling across AR/VR/XR productions. Projects include NASA First Woman (1.5M page views, 325K+ app downloads, ISS), Deloitte Virtual Factory (American Advertising Awards), and FAA Airport Operations (Unity HDRP, procedural city generation via Houdini + OpenStreetMap).

3D Generalist and motion design roles across broadcast, print, and interactive production. Includes procedural race simulation system (Cinema 4D + Python) — full broadcast pipeline from simulation to composite, solo. Earlier background in UI/UX, print, and web production established strong cross-media foundation.

3D modeling, sculpting, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging, keyframe animation, rendering, compositing, and broadcast motion graphics for interactive content.

Held roles in web, print, and large-format production, including UI/UX design, branding, motion design, pre-press preparation, photography, and visual asset maintenance.

This period established strong production discipline, visual clarity, and cross-media workflow understanding, later supporting technical and real-time production work.
