Juan David Rengifo Mera

Developed advanced CGI systems for entertainment, digital media productions and brands like Four Loko. Designed and implemented complex simulation setups including particles, rigid bodies, fluids, and procedural effects using Houdini. Built custom procedural assets and node-based systems to optimize production workflows. Automated repetitive tasks and optimized simulation pipelines using Python. Collaborated with artists and creative directors to translate visual concepts into technically robust CGI solutions. Managed rendering workflows and look development processes for high-quality visual output.

Engineered scalable software systems and automation pipelines, strengthening backend and performance optimization expertise. Designed robust data-driven systems with strong emphasis on reliability and production deployment. Applied advanced programming practices that now support procedural and simulation-based CGI workflows.

Developed deep learning models using PyTorch for structured and unstructured data analysis. Built preprocessing pipelines using Pandas and NumPy for large datasets. Conducted performance tuning and evaluation of ML models.
