In addition to my VFX Supervising role, I have also developed a strong expertise in using Houdini for various aspects of VFX production. As a Professor at Centennial College, I have created and taught two Houdini certified courses, which are part of the college's Digital Visual Effects program. These courses provide students with a comprehensive understanding of Houdini, including its fundamentals and advanced techniques.

• Fundamentals of Houdini:  Thinking procedural, geometry manipulation, particles, rigid body dynamics, fire, smoke and water.

• Advanced Houdini Techniques for VFX:  Production level workflow for dynamics FX.  Rendering, instancing and USD workflows in Solaris.  Photo-real simulations.
