I have been the producer and programming lead in 12 student game projects and game jams. I work in diverse teams of 4-12 people through remote collaborations. My goals are to create a positive team experience, deliver code that effectively addresses requirements, and have fun!

Environments and scenes.

I have been creating original illustrations on my own for 7 years. I study how to leverage principles of color and light to create immersive, realistic compositions. My focus is on applying physically accurate illumination and compositing large images from modular components!

Tech and 3D Art

Sample OpenGL shader for screen-space distortion.
Sample OpenGL shader of moving DNA strands.
3D model of coffee mug.
Creation of models and animation using Blender/Maya.

I leverage my knowledge of programming and art to control the render pipeline. I write C++ code that interfaces with raw C libraries and OpenGL to manually render elements. I work with Blender and Maya to create 3D models, custom materials, and 3D animation.
