Description:
Open Graph Description: I’m a Software Engineer focused on graphics, creative tools, and developer productivity. Most recently, I work as a Technical Artist at Meta Reality Labs, where I have built production tools, workflow automation systems, and AI-assisted validation pipelines supporting content creation workflows. My background in visual effects, animation, and technical art gives me a unique perspective on the software used by artists and creators. Today, I build graphics applications, creative tools, frameworks, and developer-focused software that help people create and iterate more effectively.
