My latest
showreel
This reel is a showcase of some of the most exciting and challenging projects I’ve had the privilege to contribute to.
Each project taught me something new, and I’m proud to share the results with you.

Tech Reel — Pipeline & Tools
Alongside visual work, I build tools to speed up and standardize simulation and look-dev workflows. This reel covers a handful of Python scripts and pipeline utilities developed for Houdini/USD-based production, including PBR-Express and other in-house helpers for asset prep, sim setup, and render management.

I create and destroy things. Digitally.
From simulating explosions to creating immersive environments, I focus on building realistic visuals that blend seamlessly into movies, commercials and various other media.
I specialize in simulation & FX — fire, dust, water, and things falling apart. Some of my most memorable projects include House of the Dragon, Fast X, Shadow and Bone.
