Gameplay/cinematic animator with shipped AAA experience at Naughty Dog (The Last of Us Part II) and Retro Studios (Metroid Prime 4: Beyond), spanning in-game cinematics, player interactions, and mocap cleanup/polish in Maya. Also built locomotion and combat animation for an open-world multiplayer brawler at GameFam, partnering with engineering on hit/reaction prioritization and interruption rules to keep combat readable and coherent in real time.

Key Strengths
- Seamless gameplay-to-cinematic animation transitions (contact points, hand placement, root stability, timing)
- Strong real-time engine integration mindset with in-engine testing/validation for blends and pops
- Cross-functional collaboration with engineering to make gameplay logic visually readable (hit prioritization, dominant reaction poses)
- Designing combat reactions that layer cleanly and interrupt predictably without breaking locomotion/combat flow
- Motion-capture cleanup/polish that preserves realism while removing noise/artifacts for in-game use
- Backend animation state optimization to reduce system overload and improve runtime performance

Senior Game Animator specializing in cinematic and gameplay character performance
“Senior gameplay animator with shipped AAA sports experience (NBA 2K) and WB Games experience, specializing in mocap cleanup/polish that holds up under instant replay and any camera angle. Experienced iterating animations from Maya into UE5 for validation and correct runtime triggering (state machines/blueprints), and known for preserving authentic superstar player nuance even when source data comes from messy machine-learning captures.”
