I have 5+ years of programming experience developing artist tools in the animation and VFX industry, along with real-time graphics and simulation projects during graduate school.

I’m passionate about understanding the full stack! I’ve written simulation & rendering C++ apps with low-level APIs such as Vulkan to writing artist-facing python tools in apps like Autodesk Maya.

I’ve also been volunteering at the world’s largest computer graphics conference, SIGGRAPH, since 2019.
