Profile
I'm a 3D generalist working across modelling, texturing, shading and environment creation in Unreal Engine for films, series and commercials. Beyond production, I enjoy building and shipping my own projects, I designed, developed and deployed Mitsuki.gg, a live all-in-one Discord bot with a full web stack, and run a self-hosted homelab that serves as my development and staging environment. I pick up whatever I need along the way, server provisioning, REST APIs, databases, frontends and learn best by building real things that actually go live.
20+ productions spanning feature films, episodic series and commercials at Planet X, ICVFX Artist. Full list on IMDB: imdb.com/name/nm15066255
Experience
Project-Driven Learning2024 – Present
Self-initiated · Personal Projects
- Built and launched Mitsuki.gg, an all-in-one Discord bot with modules covering engagement, moderation and utility, complete with a public-facing website and user dashboard.
- Architected the full stack: a Node.js bot that talks to Discord's API, a backend REST API serving the frontend, and a separate bot-internal API, all backed by MongoDB and routed through Cloudflare.
- Deployed and maintain the production environment across two Ubuntu Linux servers, handling DNS, SSL, reverse-proxying, process management and uptime monitoring.
- Built a Windows-based homelab server for cross-workstation file storage, remote access, and as a staging environment for testing project backends (e.g. Mitsuki.gg).
- Developing an internal workflow automation tool with file management, structured file creation/naming, versioning and project scaffolding, served from the homelab.
- I leverage AI-assisted development tools such as AI autocomplete and prompt-driven debugging alongside core programming knowledge to accelerate code iteration and troubleshooting.
Other Projects (In Development)2025 – Present
Self-initiated · Personal Projects
- Building a web-based collection of tools for 3D artists, including a base-colour-to-PBR converter, file-format converters and procedural texture generators (e.g. noise-based).
- Developing a collaborative movie-list platform for friend groups: add movies, mark them as watched, and most importantly randomly pick what to watch next.
