I am an experienced Technical Artist proficient in lighting and rendering, modeling, developing tools for Maya, websites, and taking on unexpected requests. Working in a small company, I have been faced with many challenges. This has allowed me to improve myself as a developer and take on more responsibilities.
Even after work, my mind never stops. Problem solving is a huge part of my life and what I enjoy doing. When I am not at work, I am usually working on a project; whether it be working in Maya, tinkering with a computer, or putting my drone back together because I ran it into a pole.
