Senior Character TD / Character Generalist

Summary

🔧 Senior Rigging / CFX / Character TD

With a strong track record in delivering high-end body, facial andsimulation setups, I’ve had the privilege of working with top-tier studios such as Goodbye Kansas, Sunrise Animation, Digic Pictures, Axis Studios, Platige Image, and Puppet Works.

I specialize in building robust, production-ready body and face rigs—both stylized and realistic. My expertise extends into Character FX, including cloth, soft-body, hair and fur dynamics using both Houdini and Maya.

I have hands-on experience with both offline (feature film and cinematic) and real-time (game and interactive) pipelines, adapting tools and workflows to meet the unique demands of each production environment.
