Expertise:

  - In-Depth C/C++ experience (9 years) including PlugIn development for Maya,
    Nuke and other software.

  - Expert in Realtime Rendering using OpenGL including GLSL-Shaders for 11
    years.

  - Excellent knowledge in Maya API (8 years) and Nuke NDK (3 years).

  - Interface design in Qt (5 years), MEL (6 years) and Nuke (3 years).

  - In-Depth knowledge of most cg image formats, especially OpenEXR.

  - Shader writing for MentalRay (1 year), Vray (2 years) and GLSL (4 years).

  - Scripting in Python (6 years), MEL (6 years) and PHP (> 10 years).

  - Cross Platform development for Windows, MacOSX (9 years), Linux (6 years)
    and iOS (4 years).

  - Experienced in R&D and strong at "Problem Solving".

  - Great Team Player with excellent Communication skills, able to meet
    challenging Deadlines.

  - Experienced in working closely with Artists, Production and R&D, fulfilling
    their needs.

  - Operator experience in Maya (8 years), Nuke (4 years) and Photoshop (8
    years).



Achivements:

  - Developed a complex pipeline with software bindings (i.E. Nuke) used by
    Scanline VFX in all steps of production like I/O, Compositing, Simulation,
    Rendering, HR and Management - greatly improving the workflow.

  - Successfully introduced other developers into a self-developed PlugIn-API
    for creating new UI Interfaces or modules in the pipeline tool mentioned
    above.

  - Created a complex shader for Vray allowing the artist to tweak and control
    all material parameters by curves. The shader also has the ability to
    integrate any other Vray shader into the final rendering result. As of now
    Scanline VFX is using this shader almost exclusively for any 3D object.

  - Developed a PlugIn for Nuke which allows compositors to completely relight a
    scene by adding and tweaking common lightsources known from 3D packages like
    Maya in post production without having to rerender the scene.

  - Planned and developed a crowd simulation tool for Maya that was used in a
    high profile film production.

  - Created a short film using Motion Capturing - doing all the necessary
    production steps like directing the actress, editing and cleaning the data
    using "Motion Analysis EVaRT" and "Autodesk Motion Builder".

  - Developed a widely used Script Suite for Maya including tools for Modeling,
    Rigging, Animation and Rendering known as the "Koshigaya Script Suite".
