Summary
I am an accomplished 3D animator who loves the technology aspect of producing creative solutions. My experience is in Medical Animation, but I am also interested in animation for gaming, film and tv, and special effects. Some of my areas of expertise include particle simulation and Unity game development. I take pride in my ability to solve complex technical problems and I am the recipient of an AMI Salon Award for one of my projects "The Science of Imagination". One of my biggest accomplishments was the development of a series of immersive, proof of concept experiences in Unity. These dynamic prototypes not only showcased the potential of VR but played a pivotal role in the establishment of the division. With my support and expertise, we were able to branch out into Augmented Reality, Web GL and other technically demanding solutions.
