EXPERIENCE

Meggitt Training Systems, Suwanee, Georgia 2008 - Present

Creative Director

Overall vision and direction of 3D Art and Technical aspects are my responsibility.

I maintain the scheduling and budget for the 3D Visual Effects department for Meggitt in Atlanta.

I oversee the artwork on specific projects such as new development.

For daily projects I rely on a Lead 3D Artist and a Senior 3D Artist that assist in the multitude of

projects we have in the department.

I also run a yearly Research and Development project that is internally funded by the company.

This internal R&D project allows me to propose new directions in technology and graphics.

The latest achievement my team has made in this research was to set up and use a new game

engine along with our existing technologies.

The existing technology mainly consisted of integration of our real world mechanical guns used on

our simulator.

My department has successfully introduced this new engine into the core product line, which is

dramatically changing the product line of the company.
