What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on real-time visualization and technical art, where I can lead pipeline development, create immersive digital twins, and collaborate with cross-functional teams in a creative, R&D-driven environment.

I am a Senior 3D Generalist and Technical Artist with over 12 years' experience at the intersection of cinematic CGI and real-time interactive development. I specialize in Unreal Engine 5 pipelines, experiential visualization, and delivering high-fidelity visual solutions for automotive, luxury retail, fintech, and architectural clients.

As a former agency co-founder, I have led production teams and partnerships across the MENA region, delivering work for brands such as BMW, Porsche, Dufry, and Red Bull. My work includes digital twins, VR-ready environments, modular level kits, and optimized assets for both mobile and real-time applications.

I emphasize technical pipeline development, performance optimization, and photoreal look-development using tools like Maya, Substance 3D, and Fusion 360, while also producing motion design and prototypes for additive manufacturing. I bring a pragmatic, R&D-driven approach to visual storytelling and immersive experiences.
