Experience:

 

Office of Admissions at Purdue University
[Aug 06 - Current]
      Senior graphics artist and programer for the department which, through various projects, has     collborated with the bursar office, enrollnemnt managment, and Purdue Marketing and Communications in design, fuction, and implementation of ideas. Tools used would include: php, java/javascript, mySQL, html, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere.

Envision Center for data perceptualization at Purdue University 
[May06-Aug06]
      Developed a virtual reality experience of a specific hospital room for Acsension Hospital and Bremner Health.  CAD Drawings were imported into 3D studio max and OSG/VR juggler was used for real-time integration and user interaction.

      Team leader for a series of Nanotechnology animations presented at the grand opening of the new $58 million Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue University. Extremely fast paced work environment, coordination with sponsors, modelers, texture artists, animators, and compositors, as well as problem solver and team director. Tools used would include: Maya/MEL, Combustion, Photoshop, Premeire.

[Aug05-Aug06]
       Collaborated with the Entomology Dept. of Purdue University to create various 3D insects for the use of simulating island ecology and biodiversity in an ecosystem. This was developed by means of virtual reality technologies. Modeling was done in Maya 6.0; texturing and exporting into OSG was done in 3D Studio Max 6.0.

[June05 - Aug06]
Computer Graphics Dept at Purdue University   
[Jan06-May06]
Responsibilities :
      -Research assistant that was put as lead director on many fast paced projects. Some projects
        would include virtual reality learning methods, data glove gesture recognition, and industrial
        visualization and game design (NSF funded).
      -Lead animator and compositor for three animation/motion graphics pieces to represent
        Purdue at Siggraph 2006.
      -Instructed a short series of lectures concerning motion capture production.
        From hardware set-up to final render using Motionbuilder and Maya.

Tasks Performed:
      -Aided in hardware/software switch from AutoCad/VectorWorks to Inventor 10 pro
      -Organized and taught a BobCAD training class in accordance with a Fadal CNC.
      -Took 2D/3D concepts and created detailed/finished drawings
      -Blueprint reading
      -Database Management

AutoCAD/Rhinoceros tutor 
[Nov02-July03]
Tasks Performed:
      -Tutored students my freshman year of college in product design using rhinoceros 2.0
      -Assisted in a week long Rhinoceros modeling based class during the summer of
        2002 to mechanical engineers and purchasing agents of companies such as GM.
