Work Experience

Mobile App Development Intern, Game Tech Center at DeNA Co., Ltd.

July 1, 2022 - May 31, 2023

Completed shaders in Unity including stencil test, toon shaders, and advanced computer graphics techniques such as subsurface scattering, slime effect, and water rendering using CG and HLSL. Participated in the UI development of game projects in Unity using C#. Developed a skill tree interface for Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. Investigated AIGC technologies including Stable Diffusion and Midjourney. Deployed Stable Diffusion on AWS, researched AIGC principles and functionality, and trained over 5 LoRA models for company projects. Conducted benchmark tests on 5 smartphone models to assess graphics rendering, CPU performance, and power efficiency of various SoCs, optimizing game performance and achieving up to 25% improvement in frame rates.

Technical Artist Intern, Technical Art Department at 51WORLD Digital Twin Technology Co., Ltd.

March 1, 2022 - June 30, 2022

Participated in the production process of virtual humans, assisting with facial capture and mapping using UE5's animation system to achieve realistic digital characters. Created building assets and procedural maps using Maya, Substance Designer, and Houdini, successfully implementing procedural modeling and texturing. Developed shaders in Unreal Engine including parallax window shaders using the PBR workflow in UE5. Optimized scenes and assets to enhance performance and visual quality by reducing triangles and improving digital twin creation.

Technical Artist at Frisson Labs Co., Ltd.

September 1, 2025 - October 21, 2025
