What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a professional team where I can apply my 3D, simulation, and VFX skills to complex technical challenges and compelling visual storytelling.

I've developed high-quality fluid and particle simulations for a premium commercial advertising project at Marte Studio in Costa Rica.

My work spans 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, rigging, rendering, and visual effects, with a focus on clothing simulation and dynamic effects in Maya and Houdini.

Through my BSc in Digital Animation at Veritas University, I've applied 3D production, character development, animation, design, photography, and post-production workflows to cinematic content.

I'm passionate about bringing complex technical challenges to life and contributing to a professional team creating compelling visual stories.
