HOW I CAN HELP Whether you need a complete AI avatar or a specific feature added to an existing project, I can help with 3D character development, modelling, rigging, facial animation, lip sync, voice AI, and application integration. I work directly on implementation and organize development into clear milestones. For suitable projects, a paid three-day pilot can help validate the technical approach before a larger commitment. Tell me what your avatar needs to do, where it will run, and what you already have. If you have an existing model or application, describe the functionality you need and the main problem you want solved.
