Tech & Tooling
VFX Asset Optimization Browser
The Problem
Tracking down what textures and meshes a VFX system used, and figuring out what was pushing an effect over memory budget, required slow manual folder-hunting across thousands of files.
What I Built
A standalone desktop tool that maps particle dependencies, previews 3D meshes and wireframes in-app, and flags unused or heavy assets to speed up optimization passes across the VFX team.
Cortex: AI Workflow System
The Problem
AI coding tools lose project context, repeat past mistakes, and forget preferences as soon as a chat session ends.
What I Built
A persistent memory and routing setup synced across my PCs that logs debugging lessons, enforces my coding rules, and splits work between cloud models and local LLMs running on my GPU.
