Summary
It’s the mixture of traditional art and technical complexity that I’m attracted to in game development. I enjoy problem solving; and even more so when the end result is something viscerally amazing.
Passionate about video game development and entertainment technology, I've put a great deal of time into learning how the entire content creation pipeline works on both a creative level and from a technical point of view.
To animate is to bring to life; I bring the characters in video games to life, and I love what I do.
