Streamlined 3D asset ingestion pipelines for a networked multiplayer shooter, optimizing workflows for importing animated weapons, environment props, and character assets from Maya and Blender into the engine. Collaborated with artists and engineers to ensure performance budgets, naming conventions, and asset dependencies were consistently met.

Built custom pipeline automation tools in Python (PyQt/PySide) to accelerate artist workflows, enabling one-click export of PBR materials, textures, and 3D models from Maya. Integrated standardized metadata handling and validation systems to reduce export errors, improve iteration speed, and maintain technical compliance across assets.

Managed quality control of VFX assets delivered by external vendors, ensuring compliance with technical specifications, artistic standards, and production requirements.

Authored and maintained comprehensive technical documentation for Meta’s proprietary game engine during its early development, detailing VR/AR pipelines across audio systems, physics integration, real-time rendering, shader/material workflows, USD pipelines, and 3D animation formats (FBX, glTF, OBJ). Partnered closely with C++ engineers, technical artists, and designers to define engine specifications, establish asset guidelines, and enable faster onboarding and cross-team collaboration during the engine’s build-out.
