Available to hire
Hi, I’m Juan Carlos Aragón Pulido—Technical Director and Tech Artist with 15+ years building production-ready pipelines across animation and real-time 3D. I specialize in complex rigging (facial/body), deformation systems, and automating workflows so teams can move faster without sacrificing quality.
Recently, I’ve been expanding my pipeline work with Python-based Blender automation and generative-AI workflows (from planning to production integration). I enjoy bridging art and engineering, leading technical direction, training artists, and creating flexible tools that support studios and game teams in asset creation, rigging, and optimization.
