About
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.

Key Strengths
- High-fidelity mocap cleanup with strict contact/penetration standards for 360°/instant-replay camera scrutiny
- Strong iteration loop between Maya and UE5 to resolve translation issues (timing/pose/export/state-machine slotting)
- Methodical end-to-end mocap polish workflow (timing → posture pass → contacts/constraints → fingers/face → eyeline)
- Authenticity-focused sports animation polish using heavy reference analysis, including noisy ML-derived player motion data
- Efficient delivery under time/hour budgets while maintaining AAA-quality animation
