HELLO
I am a Procedural Technical Artist currently working as a Synthetic Data Designer at Microsoft. On a daily basis I use Houdini Solaris with PDG to construct USD based pipelines for synthetic data generation, as well as creating procedural assets to be used in these pipelines.
When I'm not animating you can find me rock climbing, playing board games, and watching the latest season of whatever tutorial series I'm binging at the moment.
(Before listing proficiencies it is worth noting that within two weeks I can become proficient with just about any software)
I have programmed in:
Houdini Vex
Python
Javascript
C++
GLSL
And a few other languages
