What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute cinematic 3D assets, Houdini simulations, and Unreal Engine workflows to real-time, virtual production, VFX, or game projects while continuing to grow across multidisciplinary creative teams.

I'm currently bringing 3D assets to life at Vancouver Film School, taking work from concept art through modeling, sculpting, retopology, texturing, rigging, motion capture, lighting, and rendering.

I create fluid, smoke, RBD, and particle simulations in Houdini, and I directed and coordinated a four-person team to produce a short film in Unreal Engine 5.

At RSI – Radiotelevisione svizzera, I operated Unreal Engine environments for real-time playback on professional TV sets, adjusted lighting to match creative direction, and worked with directors and DOPs to solve issues quickly.

Previously, I created 3D characters and props for Unreal Engine at Stelex Software, including photoscanning and high-fidelity MetaHuman creation. My background spans game design, computer science, visual design, Unity mobile games, and VFX production.
