Sky Elements - Developer, Animator
2024–2025
At Sky Elements, I served as both a developer and animator. On the technical side, I engineered a Blender-to-Unreal workflow that streamlined the process down to a one-click transfer, optimized our import/export processes which reduced turnaround time from hours to minutes, and built algorithmic toolsets for curve-based designs, dynamic formations, and complex color animations. These innovations empowered the team to handle larger, more complex shows with speed and creative flexibility.
At the same time, I animated full productions for clients including Lost Lands, Blizzard, MrBeast, Boots in the Park, and our flagship holiday show, consistently delivering under tight deadlines while leading the development of tools the team relied on every day.
- One-click Blender-to-Unreal workflow plus optimized import/export paths cut scene prep from hours to minutes.
- Algorithmic curve, formation, and lighting tools unlocked complex drone behaviors and color storytelling.
- Led animators, TDs, and production partners through marquee shows (Lost Lands, Blizzard, MrBeast, Boots in the Park) without slipping deadlines.
Electronic Arts - Senior Game Designer
2022–2023
At EA, I was the principal designer of the dynamic opening cinematic for Super Mega Baseball 4, a feature that set the game’s tone from the first moment. I also designed the Legends feature, producing over 200 authentic character likenesses from modular assets. I was responsible for reworking in-game cameras and presentations, modeling, texturing, and lighting the main home screen UI with dynamic character animations, and owning art and branding for Legends League teams. I also created a Dynamic Sky Generator tool that rendered all stadium skyboxes for gameplay environments. Much of this was done alongside marketing and operations, where I helped shape how the game presented itself both in and out of gameplay.
