What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver character-focused 3D animation with strong QA discipline, support fast production timelines, and collaborate on cinematic or VR/game content using Maya and motion-capture workflows.

I’m a 3D Animator focused on high-fidelity character animation and cinematic scenes. I bring technical consistency to every shot by following project guidelines and pipeline requirements.

At Neun Farben Corporation, I animated 50+ high-fidelity character animation shots for Puzzle Panic using Maya, while conducting weekly Animation QA to ensure 100% compliance with the technical pipeline. I also produced a 5-second cinematic scene with 4 different characters, keeping submissions on a fast 2-day turnaround for VR game production.

I strengthen my workflow with motion capture processing—I've processed and cleaned up 30+ minutes of raw motion capture data in Motion Builder. I’m comfortable maintaining scene transitions and technical readiness in live production settings.

Before that, I served as a Head | Technical Broadcast Producer for League of Legends PH, managing monthly live-streams and producing 100+ social media graphics for Discord and Facebook. I also support motion graphics and design work through freelancing and quick-turn client commissions.
