Hi, I’m Sebastián Ramírez Ortiz, a recent graduate in Animation and Digital Effects with a passion for creating immersive games and visually striking experiences. I excel at turning gameplay concepts into playable systems, using Unreal Engine, Autodesk Maya, Blender, and a mix of 3D, 2D, and shader work to bring ideas to life. I’ve collaborated on personal projects and internships, such as a programming internship at Amber Studio Mexico, and I love learning new tools and workflows. I’m driven by curiosity, a love for teamwork, and a knack for teaching myself new techniques to ship polished games.
