About
I've been working in the games industry since April 2012, and have worked primarily in the AAA space. In 2012 I started my journey as a level scripter, and began to hone my technical and visual scripting skills while building and integrating in-game cinematics.
This cinematic work spanned a wide range of skills including animation, rigging, VFX, Lighting, SFX and even provided Mo-Cap floor work as the editor / engine specialist while filming scenes.
After multiple projects of the cinematic pipeline, I felt it was time to move on and made the decision to role change to Level Design in 2016. Since then I've been improving my design work and scripting abilities across multiple projects, contributing work to E3 demos, Campaign and Side mission content, and working on live game updates and DLC content.
