3D Generalist & AI Engineer | End-to-End 3D/AI Production |

One freelancer, two superpowers: production-grade 3D/VFX and custom AI automation that makes it faster, cheaper, and repeatable. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Most 3D artists can't automate. Most AI developers don't understand 3D production. I do both - my AI agents drive 3d software directly, not just generate pretty pictures.
