About
I’m a 3D Animator and Technical Animator with over five years of professional experience in game development, on projects ranging from AA survival titles and avatar platforms to stylised games.
My work covers the full animation pipeline: motion capture recording and cleanup, hand-keyed gameplay animation, cinematic sequences, rigging and skinning, and in-engine implementation. I’ve worked on humanoids, quadrupeds and asymmetrical creatures, from locomotion and combat to first and third person weapon animation sets, in both realistic and stylised settings.
On the technical side, I build animation pipelines, rigging and animation tools in Python, animation blueprints and state machines, and cloth and dynamics setups.
I’ve led animation teams and built workflows from the ground up, working closely with design, engineering and art. I adapt easily across animation, rigging and technical animation roles, as an individual contributor or as a lead.
My main tools are Maya, MotionBuilder and Unreal Engine, alongside Blender and Unity.
