About

Art × Engineering

I'm a Technical Artist and Animator completed my Master's at CMU's Entertainment Technology Center. I've shipped production work at EA Motive Studio across two co-op terms, building rigging pipelines, VFX systems, and tools that let artists focus on what matters.

My work lives at the intersection of art and code — I write Python pipelines in Maya, craft HLSL shaders in UE5, and build editor tools that make creative teams faster.

Currently building Moyu Office, a networking platform for game developers.
