Background
Resume
Generative AI & ML Engineer — building agentic systems, RAG pipelines, and production AI backends.
About Me
I started out as an FX TD, writing Python tools and building procedural systems in Houdini, shipping VFX for Hollywood productions at Technicolor. Over time I got obsessed with automation and the idea of systems that could actually think rather than just process. That curiosity pushed me into AI engineering. Now I build multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines, and production LLM backends using LangGraph and FastAPI. Same mindset from production: ship fast, iterate, make it reusable.

Experience
FX TD & Unreal Artist
November 2023 - January 2026Harikatha Studio
- Built and maintained the full FX pipeline from Python tooling and procedural setups to final Unreal Engine delivery
- Created reusable Houdini VEX procedural rigs that the team could iterate on quickly without starting from scratch each shot
- Wrote Python scripts to automate the repetitive parts of production so artists could spend time on actual creative work
- Used prompt engineering with generative AI tools to explore FX concepts early and get director sign-off faster
- The systems thinking and automation work here is what pushed me toward AI/ML engineering and building agentic systems
FX Artist
July 2022 - June 2023Technicolor Animation Productions
- Worked on VFX for Transformers, Ant-Man, and Crater alongside experienced supervisors in a high-volume studio environment
- Handled destruction, fluid, and particle simulations in Houdini across multiple sequences per project
- Wrote Python tools that the wider team picked up to standardize how FX was delivered across shots
- Learned a lot about working under pressure, taking feedback fast, and shipping on time regardless of scope changes
