Detail-oriented Technical Artist specializing in real-time asset optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am a Technical Artist with a background in 3D animation and hands-on experience across modelling, texturing, rigging, lighting, and real-time shaders. I have contributed to game and film projects, developing environments, VFX, and tools that streamline production workflows.
On a recent game project I optimized level assets to improve performance by about 20%, created shaders and Niagara effects like portals and underwater caustics, and built tools in Python to accelerate post-render tasks. I replicate real-world sets to scale, handle lighting and rendering, and compile final scenes for student film work.
I bring strong organization, teamwork, and customer-facing experience from retail roles, and I seek to apply my technical artistry and pipeline-building skills to help a studio improve visual storytelling and runtime performance.
