I'm a 3D character animator from Portugal, currently working remotely as a freelancer and also open to contract.

I've worked in feature film animation, VFX and Game Cinematics, animating characters, creatures and props.
I can deal very efficiently with mocap data, editing, copying and moving animation, as well as acting and performance for reference for full keyframe animations.

I can draw and do 2D animation, and I’m also very versatile in the technical side.
I can do rigging and I have a general knowledge of all CG production.
