Intern,
ArcVale

May 2022 - August 2023

At FIEA, I served as the Technical Art Lead for our capstone project Punk Rock Exorcist, a stylized third-person game. I developed Houdini tools for UV automation and mesh cleanup, created comic-inspired post-process shaders in Unreal Engine 5.4, and optimized asset performance through draw call management and batching. I also built motion-capture-ready rigs and acted as a bridge between artists, designers, and engineers to keep the pipeline clean and efficient.

I led a 2,000+ member esports organization, organizing tournaments, securing sponsors, and running LAN events across 13 titles. My role blended event logistics, community leadership, and backend operations. I also handled sponsor relations, venue logistics, and internal team coordination to support both competitive and casual play.

As an intern at Arcvale Studios, I contributed to a Unity-based platformer and VR experiences by modeling and optimizing prop assets. I also worked on UI elements and helped implement them across platforms, including Nintendo Switch. My role required frequent problem-solving with a 20-person team to fix production-blocking bugs and ensure smooth asset integration across the board.
