Hey everyone,
I've only recently started my VFX Career in the past 6-12 months, originally starting work with 3DS Max creating particle animations for a Disney Channel Movie. I have since realized the opportunity (and fun!) Houdini has to offer and have a great desire to get into the Feature Film aspect of things in the Vancouver area. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts that focused mostly on Animation as well.
I picked up Houdini a month or so ago and have only really done a few mini projects/renders, but am looking for any Jr. Artist opportunities that force me to learn quicker. I am familiar with the basics of RBD Objects/simulations, fluid simulations and dynamics, shaders, procedural modeling and animation. I like the challenge of a demanding and fast paced work environment.
Below is my portfolio site showing a few mini projects in both 3DS Max and Houdini, as well as my latest Demo Reel (all 3DS Max). My full resume can be found on my site.

Cheers and feel free to contact me with any opportunities you think suitable,
