About

I’m a technical artist with 10+ years in 3D workflows and VFX for motion graphics, working across realistic, stylized, and real-time contexts. I have a strong background in Houdini, Cinema 4D, and procedural pipelines, building efficient visual systems for production environments such as festivals, video mapping, and advertising. I’m currently transitioning into game development, bringing hands-on Unity and real-time VFX experience, gameplay systems, and pipeline development. I’m actively building tools and projects to establish a career as a Technical Artist for games and interactive experiences.
