Experience

Jan 2023 — Present
Immersify Education
Technical Artist
  • Created a character animation automation tool integrating Reallusion (CC4/iClone 8) with ElevenLabs API — reducing setup time from hours to minutes.
  • Developed custom tools and modular systems to automate animation setup and streamline asset processing for university-level dentistry and nursing programs.
  • Built Python-based Blender utilities for file cleanup, optimization, morph target management, and structured export workflows.
  • Researched and developed a custom AI image-generation workflow using ComfyUI, exploring diffusion models and node-based pipelines for rapid visual prototyping.
  • Designed realistic shaders for skin, holographic effects, and medical visualizations optimized for Mobile/VR (HLSL — X-ray, cavity shaders, Hair).
  • Delivered 40+ realistic human characters and 50+ interactive real-time simulations, optimized for Unity and VR/AR deployment.
  • Conducted QA and performance profiling in Unity; collaborated with developers on shader development, scripting, and content integration via Git.
