Jan 2023 — Present
Immersify Education
Technical Artist
  • Created a character animation automation pipeline integrating Reallusion Character Creator 4 / iClone 8 with ElevenLabs APIs, reducing character setup time while improving animation consistency.
  • Designed agent-assisted simulation workflows that convert Excel-based plans and other simulation briefs into structured simulation content, validate outputs, and generate QA sheets for internal and external review.
  • Built Python-based Blender pipeline utilities for asset cleanup, optimization, texture management, morph target handling, structured export workflows, and rapid asset adjustment experiments.
  • Built practical Unity/C# scripts for asset automation, shader/material assignment, content setup, and simulation production workflows.
  • Built and tested AI-assisted media workflows using OpenCode, ElevenLabs, and Video Gen, linking prompt generation, image creation, voice generation, and video generation for rapid prototyping.
  • Designed and optimized real-time shaders and VFX systems for skin shading, holographic effects, X-ray/cavity visualizations, hair, and interactive simulation feedback using HLSL in Unity.
  • Delivered 40+ realistic human characters and 80+ interactive real-time simulations optimized for Unity-based mobile, desktop, VR, and AR learning platforms.
  • Improved QA workflows by generating spreadsheets, checking content structure, flagging missing values, and comparing QA amendments against existing simulation content, while continuing profiling and performance optimization across shaders, textures, and assets.
  • Collaborated closely with developers on shader systems, real-time VFX, scripting, content integration, and version control using Git and SourceTree.
  • Acted as a cross-disciplinary bridge between art, content, and engineering teams as a primary simulation producer, implementing assets, designing shaders, testing features, QA'ing content, and proposing workflow improvements.

Satellite Applications Catapult UK
3D Artist — SAT-VIS VR
  • Created UI elements, low-poly satellite models, and PBR holographic shaders for a VR visualization tool.
  • Integrated and optimized all assets in Unity for real-time performance.
Nov 2021 — Apr 2022
Satellite Applications Catapult UK
3D Artist — CubeSat Construction Simulator VR
  • Collaborated on a client-based VR project simulating CubeSat assembly for the Satellite Applications Catapult and University of Portsmouth.
  • Modelled and textured accurate satellite components; designed the virtual environment.
  • Assisted with Unity implementation and performance optimization for VR.
