Led multiple combat-style animation sets, owned mocap cleanup/polish workflows across Maya/MotionBuilder and UE5, and partnered with engineering/tech animation on systems like AI-driven talking characters (viseme setup).”

“Gameplay engineer with deep Unreal Engine multiplayer/VR experience, including end-to-end implementation of replicated physics for a co-op VR FPS (Final Space: The Rescue) optimized for Meta Quest constraints using profiling-driven network and simulation throttling. Also built physics-driven projectile systems with predictive arcs and tuned hand-tracked vehicle controls for an Apple Vision Pro project using playtest analytics to improve feel.”

“Video editor/audio engineer focused on music editing and mixing for longform and digital content, with examples spanning a criminal justice reform documentary ("The People's Project") and a comedy series (All Deaf Digital). Works end-to-end in Premiere + Pro Tools, using LUFS targets, restoration, automation, and templates, and iterates quickly using producer notes and YouTube retention analytics.”

“UE5/VR-focused developer who has shipped real UE5 deliverables (Fab.com products and VR template projects used by graduate students) and built a modular VR training interaction system end-to-end using Blueprint Interfaces and Actor Components. Also shipped a game-ready UE5 character product (“Ryan the incredible”) with 180 animations and a scalable AnimBP, and has hands-on profiling/optimization experience reducing tick-heavy Blueprint logic.”

“Senior video editor with 15+ years of expert-level Premiere Pro and After Effects experience, spanning full-length TV documentaries and major-brand social content (Nike Running, JP Morgan Chase, Mattel).

“Gameplay animator with experience delivering high-fidelity action animation (Spiderman/Fantastic 4 shots) and shipped game work including Fortnite. Primarily animates in Maya, exports to UE5 via established tools, and iterates by validating animation in both Maya and Unreal; strong in mocap cleanup/polish and technical constraint workflows (parent switching, stepped animation) under deadline pressure.”

“Audio professional with ~8 years in sound design who scores and edits music to picture in Pro Tools, delivering stems into DaVinci Resolve/Premiere. Experienced in fast-paced daily production (sports journalism) and uses BPM/click-track workflows to tightly sync music to edits—leveraging hard cuts and unexpected cues to boost comedic timing and viewer retention.”
