🎬 Behind the Scenes

Before the code, there were pixels and polygons. I helped bring The Last of Us and Uncharted 3 to life at Sony, shipped Killzone: Shadow Fall for PS4 launch, and worked cloth simulations on Avatar at Hydraulx.

From AAA games to ML pipelines, the journey has been quite the adventure. Thanks for finding this little corner of my story.
