Familiarity With Various Design Pipelines
The following examples showcase my ability to execute projects from concept to completion (code, art, and design). This includes developing and launching a PhD vision therapy app (Nintendo 3DS) and a financial responsibility app, both of which achieved high visibility by being featured on NBC News. In my role as a Technical Artist for a HoloLens PTSD project, I managed asset pipeline integrity (materials, rigs, textures, hookup, and triggering). I also independently built complete therapeutic games for VividVision and Karina Labs on the HoloLens platform.

Python Scripting Examples
python tools and tutorialsMy experience includes technical instruction at Amazon, where I authored tutorial content on using Python to script UI elements for the O3DE engine. Later at Netflix, I developed a critical set of auto-rigging updates and a custom Python Rigger for our character pipeline, which automated the importing of characters, the copying of animation data, and the precise correction of bone alignments.

Workshops & Events
🎬 Technical Content & Feedback Loop ManagementI designed and led the creation of multiple tutorial series for Amazon, including all digital content (e.g., animations, character models) and branding assets (e.g., title cards). For each series, I drove the content strategy by conducting user needs assessments through social media and email surveys. This feedback-driven process ensured that every tutorial directly addressed user demand, resulting in high-impact educational resources for the community.

Collecting Product Feedback
Netflix: Squid Game: UnleashedOne of my duties as a Technical Artist, at Netflix, was to conduct performance testing and gather feedback to improve on game mechanics, such as player movement testing in Squid Game: Unleashed's "Red Light, Green Light" mini-game. The playtest goal is to assess the precision, responsiveness, and control of the core movement system under pressure, involving scenarios like successfully performing three cycles of Green Light movement and Red Light stopping and navigating past NPC obstacles for quick lateral evasion. Documentation is done using both in-game telemetry to collect quantitative metrics like Stop Distance (≤0.5 game units) and Latency of Input, and qualitative notes detailing player frustration or visual slipperiness. The post-test survey s and open-ended questions to gather subjective feedback, for analyzing this data and translating it into actionable development tasks(e.g., "Reduce the player's deceleration curve by 15%") in tools like Jira.
Amazon Game Tech: 03DEI was responsible for bridging technical gaps by creating trainer videos for both the O3DE engine and Amazon GameLift integration. I deployed a multi-channel feedback system to ensure content effectiveness and drive engine improvements. Data was collected via YouTube polls for high-level topic demand, email surveys for in-depth quality review, and constant monitoring of O3DE Discord channels. This process allowed me to generate a prioritized tutorial roadmap and provide developers with actionable feedback on pain points like GameLift setup complexity, directly influencing development cycles.
