What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and optimize real-time Unity, Unreal, AR or VR experiences where I can bridge art and code, improve performance, and create practical workflows for artists and designers.

I've adapted a photorealistic Unreal Engine environment for VR at Eongate, raising performance from approximately 2 FPS to a stable 120 FPS through rendering, lighting, asset and shader optimization.

At Arcadio Lab, I built stylized holographic and outline effects in Unity Shader Graph, profiled rendering bottlenecks, and developed C# gameplay features for production builds.

I've also delivered configurable mission and dialogue systems, VR hand interactions, and a published Android AR project using Vuforia image recognition, external APIs, Unity Cloud services, VFX and UI feedback.

I work where art and code meet: helping artists prepare assets for real-time workflows, giving designers configurable tools, and investigating performance issues across Unity and Unreal projects.
