VFX Houdini Reel

A showcase of professional visual effects and technical art work across film, television, and interactive media. Developed through years of production experience working with real-time graphics, procedural workflows, content pipelines, and artist-facing tools.

Houdini VFX Python

I spent 20+ years working in visual effects, animation, and technical art across film, television, advertising, and interactive media. This production experience provided firsthand exposure to the workflows, challenges, and tools used by artists in professional environments.

Working closely with creative teams helped shape my interest in building software for artists and content creators. Many of the projects in this portfolio—from animation tools and compositing software to application frameworks and workflow automation systems—are influenced by lessons learned while solving real production problems in visual effects and digital content creation.
