What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can be challenged, communicate clearly, and contribute to high-quality 3D deliverables. I want to keep pushing my workflow—especially through layout, tools, and pipeline automation.

I’m a 3d TechnicalArtist who’s always trying to better myself as a person and as a professional. I thrive when challenged and I keep my deliveries at their best, no matter the other person’s professional background.

Since 01/2018, I’ve worked as a 3D Generalist / Technical Artist through a variety of freelance projects for clients around the world—covering marketing studios, virtual reality, visdev, and virtual production.

At Ploop VFX (05/2022 - 03/2026), I developed ads and commercials across platforms, working as a Layout TechnicalArtist to build the foundation for upcoming areas. I also helped in the development of tools and automatizations to optimize the pipeline.

I’ve also contributed to interactive architectural visualization in Unreal Engine (Home VR, 03/2021 - 02/2022) and supported virtual reunion environments (You Can Event, 01/2020 - 02/2021). My background includes R&D for CGI and VFX work such as Video Mapping and 3D motion graphics, plus lighting and compositing training (TechnicolorAcademy / Raw VFX Workshops).
