What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in real-time graphics and collaborate with creative teams.

As a passionate Technical Artist, I have cultivated a strong expertise in real-time content creation, particularly within the realms of video game development. My journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Digital Art, which laid the foundation for my technical skills and artistic vision. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s Degree in Video Game Development, further enhancing my knowledge and capabilities in this dynamic field.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with renowned companies such as Behaviour Interactive and AMBER STUDIOS, where I focused on optimizing graphics performance and developing tools for 3D artists. My experience includes creating shaders, implementing production strategies, and ensuring high-quality visual experiences in both mobile and PC/console environments. I thrive on challenges and am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in real-time graphics.
