Hi, I’m Ayla Khoshaba, a Technical Artist focused on tools, shaders, and motion capture pipelines for games and cinematic production. I translate artistic intent into scalable, production-ready workflows, using Unreal Engine, Python, Blueprints, and data-driven pipelines to empower teams to iterate fast. I’m currently pursuing an MSc in Technical Art & Visual Effects at Abertay University, and I’ve built end-to-end capture pipelines with Vicon and Shōgun, debugged performance bottlenecks, and collaborated across disciplines to deliver polished visuals for both games and films.…Hi, I’m Ayla Khoshaba, a Technical Artist focused on tools, shaders, and motion capture pipelines for games and cinematic production.
