What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead animation/CG production with strong pipeline ownership—aligning creative intent with international technical standards, managing resources and QA, and mentoring teams to ship high-quality work on schedule.

I’m a results-driven Senior 3D Generalist and Technical Project Manager with 12+ years of experience leading high-complexity pipelines in character animation, architectural visualization, and audiovisual advertising.

My strength is aligning creative vision with international technical standards—from conceptualization to final delivery—while optimizing production workflows, managing resource allocation, and maintaining high-tier quality assurance (QA).

Across remote and on-site engagements, I’ve directed visual asset development and animation tracking for major global clients, ensuring 100% compliance with quality and deployment schedules. I’ve also spearheaded delivery processes and technical troubleshooting to keep projects on track.

I bring hands-on 3D expertise in rigging, motion, modeling, texturing, lighting, and look development, supported by deep tool knowledge (Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Arnold, V-Ray). Beyond production, I’ve taught digital animation and supported students with curricula, portfolio structure, and professional demo reels.
