About
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.
