About Me
Principal 3D Animator With 17 years of experience in the animation industry, I am a Principal Animator at Dream Game Studios, where I specialize in delivering high-quality, realistic keyframe animations for cinematic and game productions. Over the course of my career, I have contributed to an impressive range of globally recognized productions. On the games side, my work includes titles such as Dream Cricket 24, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, NBA 2K22, and Scooply (mobile). On the TV series and film side, my credits include Kung Fu Panda, Fast & Furious Spy Racers, Puss in Boots, All Hail King Julien, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's, How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, Sprite, Thelma the Unicorn, Dhoom 3, and Ravan. My expertise spans character and creature animation, motion capture integration, facial animation, and lip-sync — backed by deep proficiency in Autodesk Maya and MotionBuilder. I collaborate closely with supervisors, artists, and technical teams to ensure precise motion planning, character implementation, and consistent visual quality across every frame. I pride myself on balancing artistic vision with production realities — maintaining high standards while meeting deadlines, providing constructive feedback, and contributing to animation pipelines that elevate storytelling.
