What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles building immersive AR/VR/WebGL experiences where I can lead technical design-to-code workflows, mentor teams, and deliver high-quality, performant visual products.

I am a Technical Artist and Creative Developer with experience co-founding a tech studio and delivering immersive AR/VR and WebGL solutions. I blend 3D design and software engineering to create performant, production-ready interactive experiences.

I have led cross-functional teams on projects ranging from oncology surgical simulators to multiplayer metaverse environments, winning over 14 innovation awards. My technical toolkit includes Unity, WebGL (Three.js, A-Frame), Blender, Meta Spark AR and Lens Studio, enabling end-to-end implementation from asset creation to deployment.

I seek remote roles where I can apply my creative vision and technical skills to challenging projects, optimize design-to-code pipelines, and deliver high-quality visual and technical outcomes.
