Summary
Harrison Smith is a Technical Artist with eight years of interdisciplinary experience turning ideas into production-ready tools and assets, currently building procedural and AI-generated worlds at Electronic Arts in Palo Alto. He blends software engineering (C/C++, Python, full-stack web) with creative toolmaking—shipping ML-driven pipelines, Houdini/Maya automation, and asset management systems that produced thousands of realistic player likenesses. Harrison has repeatedly reduced manual work through scripting and integrations (from Google Apps Scripts to custom PHP/Laravel apps) and led cross-disciplinary pods to scale creative workflows. His background spans AR education apps, hardware-focused ML prototypes, and founder-led product startups, reflecting a rare mix of inventiveness and pragmatic engineering. Notably, he pairs deep research focus and cost-conscious problem solving with a long-standing drive to democratize invention for underserved creators.
