@sergeit
Technical / VFX Artist with experience across a wide range of real-time projects, including game development, VR/AR solutions and animation production
What I'm looking for
My work focuses on the intersection of visual quality and technical implementation. I specialize in creating real-time visual effects while also solving technical art challenges such as shader development, asset and rendering optimization, material setup, and improving overall graphical performance.
I enjoy building performance-driven visuals and scalable solutions that enhance the visual impact of a project while maintaining technical stability. Working closely with artists, designers, and programmers, I contribute to the development of efficient workflows, production pipelines, and optimized real-time systems.
Continuously improving my expertise in real-time VFX, shaders, graphics optimization, and technical art workflows. Comfortable working both independently and within cross-disciplinary teams in remote or hybrid environments. I value well-structured pipelines, clear technical processes, and a strong collaborative culture.
