Background
Working 20 years in entertainment technology and live music production has given me a background I am looking to apply to my interests in software, technology, and 3D design. My experience designing, planning, and implementing large scale productions can be applied to positions in the tech sector which rely on an understanding of signal flow and redundancy systems, networking, plotting and design, UX design, and many others. During my time working in music I focused on 3D programming and rendering with many examples on my personal portfolio website at www.AndyCass.com. My expertise in designing and implementing complex lighting and video systems, collaborating with diverse teams, and executing projects under tight timelines has honed my ability to problem-solve and adapt to rapidly changing environments and situations. My greatest assets are taking an organized and methodical approach to tasks and continually learning how to improve myself and my communication.

3ds Max is industry standard animation software created by Autodesk. I am also familiar with Autodesk Character Generator and Fusion 360. Unfortunately the two largest projects I have done are under NDA but I am working to render out some more examples to show my work. The Logo example shown below is one in which I did all aspects from logo design all the way to final rendering using 3ds Max.
Here is a project I did for a state wide bill I was supporting called the Denver Internet Initiative. The point of this bill was to allow local municipalities to sell ISP services directly to constituents at lower costs. The photos below show as an example of a way I can take a flat 2D logo and turn it into a 3D rendered object.
Vectorworks is design, rendering, and plotting software used in architecture, landscape, and entertainment sectors. I use it for everything from corporate event planning to construction documents and it has become the main software I use for any design.

MIDI is a protocol created in the 1980s to synchronize musical instruments but is now used in many applications. I have extensive MIDI experience using instruments or software such as Bome, Ableton, GrandMA, Resolume, Mainstage, etc.
OSC is short for Open Sound Control and was created in 2002 for interoperability between multimedia devices such as synthesizers or computers. OSC is better then MIDI in that it has a higher resolution data stream and has some stability improvements. In 2022 I used OSC and a software shown below called Chataigne to create a randomized NFT creation station controlled by users.
Capture is 3D visualization software used primarily in the entertainment industry from a Swedish company. I have been using the various versions of Capture for many years in all sorts of applications. Below are some video examples of Capture projects I have created for the entertainment sector.
Web Design is an exciting new endeavor for me as you can see in the site. I originally built this site in 2012 with my friend Jay Carbon at Atomic 6 Designs. Since then I have spent years adding in content and thru a few redesigns started adding more complexity to the site and learning WordPress.
