About me
I love turning complex, engineering-heavy procedures into clear, usable visuals. My work includes technical assembly and operational animations, product renderings, real-time product demos for large-scale offshore platforms in Unreal Engine, and VR prototypes. I bridge engineering and other disciplines to improve understanding and collaboration, with experience in project ownership, pipeline development, version control, and data-driven workflows.
