Tyler Penrod’s Summary

I have past experience in a variety of positions, most of which have developed my ability to work within a team oriented environment rather than pertaining to my particular desired position.

I have begun to develop my skill set with the aims of becoming a Character TD. My focus is largely in character rigging and setup, along with programming and scripting languages. I have also taken a great interest in Stereoscopics and it's applications.

I would like to gain an internship or job more related to my areas of expertise.
