Biography

I’m a Technical Artist and Virtual Production TD focused on AI-assisted content creation, real-time 3D and production pipeline development.

I design and prototype tools and workflows that bridge physical production and digital environments, connecting cameras, Unreal Engine, Blender, SideFX Houdini, Gaussian Splatting, custom Python tools and machine learning workflows.

My work sits at the intersection of creative technology, virtual production and R&D, exploring how emerging technologies can enable new approaches to storytelling across film, television and immersive media.

I enjoy turning experimental ideas into practical, reliable and artist-friendly solutions that work from on-set through post-production.
