I have hands-on experience developing content across gaming and simulation platforms, including Unreal Engine, CryEngine, Unity 3D, and the EON Software suite. In addition, I bring extensive proficiency in 3D modeling tools such as the Autodesk suite, Blender, CATIA, ProE, and SketchUp, along with practical exposure to VFX software like Maya and Fusion.
My work with these tools has primarily focused on applications for immersive AV environments, interactive media, and real-time rendering. While my core expertise lies in AV systems and technical operations, I’ve been actively exploring Unreal Engine through self-guided learning and collaborative integration projects, with the goal of applying it to future creative and technical initiatives.
I’m enthusiastic about contributing to teams that push the boundaries of visual experience and am open to hands-on roles that further deepen my engagement with these platforms.
