I’m a Senior Technical Artist with a diverse range of experience across multiple platforms and technologies, including PC, Mobile, VR and AR.
Over the years, I’ve taken on numerous projects and freelance opportunities, constantly expanding my expertise in technical art,
systems design, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
As a passionate problem-solver, I thrive on building tools, pipelines, and systems that empower teams to work efficiently and creatively.
I’ve participated in Game Jams to sharpen my skills under pressure and collaborated on various gameplay mechanics, art pipelines, and technical solutions.
Currently, I’m a Staff (Senior) Technical Artist on an MMO project, where I contribute to developing and optimizing complex systems that push creative and technical boundaries. I’m also channeling my love for quirky games and vibrant art styles into Project GoldHeart, a third-person pirate adventure that I’m building as a solo side project.
With a strong foundation in technical artistry and a drive to continuously learn, I’m always seeking new challenges to innovate and grow alongside talented teams.
