Bio

Creative Technologist with 4+ years across real-time 3D, virtual production, and AI-driven content creation. Led a 15-person team at UCL to
deliver a VR cultural preservation experience in UE5, integrating photogrammetry, Metahumans, and generative AI. Builds interactive
systems across the physical-digital boundary – live-data digital twins, hand-tracked generative visuals, gesture-driven robot rigs, and audio
reactive TouchDesigner installations – using Python, MediaPipe, OSC, and UE5 pipelines.

WORK EXPERIENCE

University College London – Multimedia Anthropology Lab
VR Production Manager · London, UK
May 2024 – Jul 2025
Led a 15-person cross-functional team delivering an end-to-end VR cultural preservation experience in UE5 – photogrammetry scanning
workflows, Metahuman characters, procedural foliage, and Gemini generative AI for storytelling.
Developed pipeline documentation, asset templates, and workflow guides to drive consistency across a distributed volunteer-led production
team; communicated complex technical trade-offs to non-technical academic stakeholders.

Bajaj Auto Ltd
Graphic Designer · India
Jul 2021 – Jul 2022
Produced video, motion design, and visual content for internal communications and event campaigns reaching 10,000+ employees; introduced
digital video formats that improved visual consistency and audience engagement.

Freelance
3D / VFX Artist · Remote
Dec 2020 – Jul 2022
Delivered VFX assets, particle systems, and procedural textures using Unreal Engine, Houdini, and Substance Designer; built modular
Blueprint tools enabling non-technical clients to integrate complex assets independently.

PROJECTS
Smart Building Digital Twin
UE5 · Python · REST · OpenWeatherMap
Real-time 3D building driven by live weather API data – per-room simulation of temperature, CO2, and occupancy across 6 zones, with threshold
triggered material and lighting changes. Config-driven Python pipeline with concurrent threading; zero hardcoded values.
Robot Arm MediaPipe Controller

UE5 · MediaPipe · Python · OSC · Control Rig · Blender
Self-modelled robot arm in Blender, rigged with a UE5 IK Control Rig driven by live 21-landmark hand tracking via MediaPipe. Full finger angle
data, pinch-to-zoom, and wrist position streamed via OSC with Lerp smoothing applied in-engine.

TouchDesigner Interactive Installations
TouchDesigner · MediaPipe · Python · OSC · Audio-Reactive
Hand-tracked generative sphere (MediaPipe → Python OSC → TD), audio-reactive visualisers, and an interactive gem-flower installation built with
node-based procedural logic. OSC sensor dashboard with threshold-driven colour shifts for real-time data visualisation.

EDUCATION
