Biography

I started my career in 1997 as a construction technician, and in 2003, I co-founded a company that landed its first major client, with whom I have been working ever since.

In 2008, I shifted my focus to 3D modeling and visual effects for film, founding my own company. That same year, I worked as a contracted designer for Embraer S/A, creating 3D models and renderings for executive and commercial airplanes. In 2010, we collaborated again on the interior design of Embraer’s first commercial aircraft, leading to a nine-year contract with my company.

In 2018, I transitioned to Houdini software, focusing on procedural modeling. I worked at Tangent Animation and later as Lead Environment and Technical Director at MARZ VFX and Orca Studios. At MARZ VFX, I worked as Lead Environment on the series Moon KnightThe Umbrella Academy, and Wednesday Addams, all for Netflix and Disney Plus. At Orca Studios, I worked as an FX Artist on the film Bird Box Barcelona, also for Netflix.

Currently, I work as a Technical Director in the film industry, developing procedural tools and participating in incredible projects.
