In 15 years of professional carreer on CG, and a background in Computer Science and Video Production, I’ve had different responsabilities, developing skills for numerous aspects of computer graphics, with greater focus on hard surface modelling, lighting, and compositing areas.

I also had working experience on rigging, animation, and fx simulation, so I have a complete vision of the entire pipeline of a vfx shot.

My programming skills help me to enhance the workflow and streamlining the processes.
