Bridging 18 Years of Cinematic World-Building with Autonomous Ground Truth
Senior Layout Artist @ Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) | 2014-2025
For 18 years, I managed the technical pipelines that built the impossible. As a Senior Layout Artist for Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and MPC, I delivered massive-scale 3D environments and zero-defect tracking data for franchises like Star Wars and Transformers.
But photorealism is just data. Today, I leverage that deep expertise in 3D spatial assembly, sensor calibration, and pipeline optimization to solve the most critical challenge in autonomy: Simulation.
I bridge the gap between artistic workflows and engineering requirements. My unique edge? I combine enterprise-grade synthetic data operations with 2,500+ hours of real-world urban navigation analysis, bringing a 'human-in-the-loop' understanding of edge cases that data alone cannot capture. I don't just build the simulation; I know how the car should behave inside it.
Specialized expertise in synthetic data generation, sensor validation, and real-world edge case analysis
Generating massive-scale, topologically accurate 'greybox' environments for simulation. Focusing on road network logic, intersection complexity, and polygon optimization for real-time engine performance.
Validating synthetic sensor data against ground truth. 18 years of experience in 3D camera tracking (Matchmove) applied to Lidar point cloud alignment and sensor fusion workflows.
Leveraging 2,500+ hours of urban driving data to identify high-risk edge cases. Translating real-world traffic patterns into semantic segmentation maps for behavioral prediction testing.
A decade of technical leadership delivering precision outputs for global VFX pipelines
Senior Layout Artist
Delivered high-precision 3D environment assembly and camera layout work for massive-scale productions. Created virtual camera work and spatial composition for Star Wars, Transformers, and other major franchises with zero-defect quality standards.
Technical Delivery Manager – 3D Tracking
Specialized in camera solve operations, tracking accuracy, and lens distortion management. Reduced technical issues by 40% while managing over 1,000 high-complexity shots.
