## About

```text
At Kulfi Collective, I lead AI and creative technology across the studio, directing partner teams and heading the AI team for EqualAI. I’ve delivered AI VFX for One8 and Ugaoo, and helped launch KulfiKrawl, a Unity-built interactive Snake game with arcade controls and a live leaderboard.

My work spans CG campaigns, animation, VFX and interactive installations. At Post Office Studios, I directed LEGO NINJAGO Dojo Academy, which won an AGIF award, and supervised VFX and directed CGI for the AjnaXR launch film. Earlier, I built and ran the motion graphics and VFX department at The Cutting Crew.
