I work at the intersection of architecture and technology.
Nearly a decade ago, I was the first hire with an architectural background at a very early-stage San Francisco tech startup.
I led the creation and development of architectural specifications, systems, and processes, translated for digital representation.
I started as a 3D Technical Artist and later becoming the Senior 3D Artist as well as the initial Real Estate Project Manager.
The start-up was bought out by the number one U.S. homebuilder:
My work is still in use today, as foundation components of software plugins, and as and as regulating guidelines of crucial processes.
I look forward to this next phase of my career, moving out from the tech world and into the architectural ecosystem as a whole.

Modsy, San Francisco, CA, US, Senior 3D Artist
Promoted for demonstrating excellence and leadership in developing fundamental logic of an architecturally based in-house 3D parametric modeling system.
Demonstrating high performing cross-team collaboration, I worked with the engineering team to deploy new digital assets across multiple releases, also facilitating updates and creating training for internal stakeholders and external vendors.
As a result, I successfully promoted adoption of new technologies with 3D vendors, driving significant reduction of unit costs month-over-month for high volume interior architectural 3D rendering pipeline (4000 customers/month).
Modsy, San Francisco, CA, US, Real Estate Project Manager
Facing increased demand for virtual home buying tours during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was tasked with establishing new processes and technologies for a new division.
I managed projects for top U.S. homebuilders by working with architects, builders, contactors, and other vendors and stakeholders. I managed scripts integrating external projects with internal databases, successfully meeting the demand and improving technical strategies for pipeline integration.
Modsy, San Francisco, CA, US, 3D Technical Artist
I was the first hire with an architectural background at a San Francisco tech startup.
I was responsible for creating and developing a robust system to guide the handling of 3D architectural assets for this early-stage startup.
I led the creation and development of architectural specifications for digital implementation, and specialized in streamlining assets in development of proprietary software.
This startup was eventually bought out by the number 1 U.S. homebuilder. The work I did is still being used today on a large scale, and forms the basic logic and components of a number of crucial processes and software plugins.
