I am a driven Technical Artist who focuses on tools programming and graphics engineering. My ambition is to maintain the pipeline between programmers and artists, increasing workflow efficiency. I always look forward to playing a supportive role within a production timeline by assisting teammates and users.

Implemented Physically-Based Rendering cel shader using unity's deferred renderer
Within the writeup linked above, I highlight a few features I developed improving the material painting workflow for artists.
The features include...
Heatmap altitude debug shader
Terrain layer eyedropper tool
Layer painting tool updates
Terrain toolbox updates
Terrain Tools Analytics
During our development sprints we realized that there was a large disparity of user feedback and data.
To solve the disparity issue I created an analytics API to track user data when painting on terrain and
allowing users to utilize the API for their own custom brushes. This change greatly improved our process
for verifying future changes and deciding on key areas of our tools to work on. I currently manage the
full system from integration to visualization.
