2008 - *

Kuju America

Burlingame, California

I worked at Kuju as a Junior Animator. I was able to figure out the art and animation pipeline with the Technical Director. I also built entire presentations by modeling, texturing, rigging and animating them. I always went beyond my core duties and was in touch with other studios in the Kuju network to learn more about the game engine and the pipeline.

As an independent computer technician I am in charge of maintaining my own customer base, booking my appointments and going onsite to ensure proper hardware & software configuration.

I managed and designed websites through a Rhythmyx Content Management System (cms). I also converted and re-organized every piece of data to this system during a six month project.

I colored blue print images for presentational purposes of several buildings and prepared them for presentations. I experimented with architectural CAD models on my own by importing them into Maya and playing with lighting.
