  • Wrote specialty shaders for use in Unity

  • Wrote a particle system used in DRAGONHEART

  • Wrote a data capture and previs tool interfacing a 3D laser transit with a Powerbook 180 for DRAGONHEART to make match moving more accurate and faster.

  • Wrote a video image processing in C++ and Python batch processor with Docker and AWS cloud

  • Oversaw development one of the first film digitizers for motion picture use (Received an Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences Technical Award)

  • Received 3 patents for video processing developments

  • Wrote a rotoscope, paint and video processing application (Commotion) from scratch in C++ sold all over the world.
