Technical Prototyping | Technical Artist | Interactive Designer

I design and build interactive prototypes, technical tools, and digital experiences using both software and hardware.

Technical Prototyping & Fabrication 🔩

🔌 Electronics & Microcontrollers – Build interactive hardware using ESP32, Arduino, sensors, buttons, LEDs, and basic circuit systems.
🧩 Physical Prototyping – Design and test functional prototypes through 3D modeling, 3D printing, 3D scanning, and hands-on fabrication.
🛠 Practical Troubleshooting – Diagnose wiring, power, signal, and hardware issues in real-world installation and production environments.
🏗 On-Site Technical Setup – Support physical builds, equipment setup, LED wall installation, and production workflows with safety awareness.
💡 From Idea to Working System – Turn creative concepts into functional prototypes that combine hardware, software, and physical interaction.

🛠 Node & Code-Driven Development – Expertise in Blueprint, TouchDesigner, with Python/C++ for extended functionality and automation.
🖥 Software Integration – Bridging tools across Unreal Engine, Maya, Blender, Touchdesigner, and more
🤝 Cross-Team Collaboration – Working with artists, developers, and production teams to solve technical challenges

🎬 On-Set Operation – Operate and monitor UE nDisplay and TouchDesigner systems during VP shoots.
🔧 Prelight Coordination – Collaborate with DP, camera and lighting teams to prelight and camera blocking.
📦 Scene Prep & Optimization – Work with the Virtual Art Department to prepare optimized 3D scenes ready for shoot.
🧰 Technical Support – Troubleshoot hardware/software issues and build custom tools to meet production needs.
🤝 Cross-Department Communication – Act as a technical bridge between departments to ensure smooth production flow.
