Bio

I am currently a Staff Research Engineer at Canva, building the future of design workflows powered by Generative AI in Video and 3D.

My current work builds on over 10 years of experience in graphics R&D. I previously developed production rendering engines at DreamWorks Animation (MoonRay) and Adobe, before pivoting my focus to research in neural rendering and materials.

I graduated from UC San Diego with a Masters in Computer Science in 2015, advised by Ravi Ramamoorthi.
