I am proficient in Maya, Houdini, ZBrush and Substance Painter, and have experience with Nuke and Davinci. My senior film focused on using volumes in Houdini to achieve the look of clouds. I have used Python and problem-solving mindset as a computer science student. I have also most recently worked in Unreal in a production role as well as for a game development internship.
