EXPERIENCE INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT
04, 2014 - Present
I am currently developing content using Unreal Engine 4 and the Oculus Rift and charting out
practical uses of this technology in the field of games & simulations.
SENIOR PIPELINE DEVELOPER, PRANA ANIMATION STUDIOS
01, 2010 – 04, 2014
My responsibilities included developing and maintaining the pipeline for various shows on the
production floor, while evolving the toolsets to cater to our long term vision. Most of the
development here was done in Python, while the user interfaces were done using PyQt.
Some of the tools that I am particularly proud of are:
• The Cloth, Hair, Fur and Foliage Pipeline: Worked closely with the various leads in
the departments to define their workflows and automate repetitive processes.
• The Scene Assembler: An XML based general purpose shot/set dressing assembler
created for the Shot Production departments.
• A Path Generator: A path translator/generator which can be configured on a per
project basis. This helped us maintain the same workflow across multiple projects,
without having to override our basic publish scripts in any way.
• A Node Based Workflow Definition System. A node based visual scripting system,
which enables TDs to quickly prototype workflows without getting into writing code.
