As a Character Animator at Simulon, I am grateful to have opportunity to animate high-quality realistic and semi-realistic Creature, Character animations along with handling multiple shots simultaneously and meeting different deadlines. I also enjoy rigging as a side hobby, and I use Autodesk Maya as my main software.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Animation, Interactive Technology, Video Graphics and Special Effects from Asian Academy Of Film And Television, and a Diploma In Modeling and Texturing from Frameboxx, Jaipur. I have also worked on various projects, such as Avatar The Last Airbender (Netflix) Primitive War, The Great Season 3 (Hulu), I NumberNumber : Jozi Gold (Netflix), The Naughty Nine(Disney) etc. My experience has taught me the importance of teamwork, communication, self-study, patience, and self-confidence in completing my tasks. I am always eager to learn new skills and improve my animation quality.
