Pipeline ownership
Builds scalable workflows and realtime environments in Unreal Engine, with import/interchange pipelines, asset management, validation, optimization, documentation, and debugging practices.
CV / Technical Artist
Technical art leadership, tools, shaders, and realtime systems.
With experience across technical art, 2D/3D motion graphics, and design, I specialize in procedural content, artist-friendly tools, scalable Unreal Engine workflows, shader programming, realtime VFX, PCG, and mentoring cross-functional teams.
Profile
What I bring into production.
A practical bridge between art direction, engineering constraints, and production delivery.
Technical direction
Guides and mentors teams, aligning visual quality, gameplay needs, production goals, and engineering feasibility before late-stage blockers appear.
Realtime craft
Combines visual shader programming and HLSL, Niagara, PCG, procedural tools, and Blueprint systems to create optimized visual systems for interactive environments.
Timeline
Work experience.
Across the years, I gradually climbed the computer graphics ladder from 2D to 3D, motion, and the technical side of real-time production.

Tools
Editor utilities and automation.
Artist-facing automation built around real production pain points in large Unreal repositories.
Blueprint parsing and component edits
Create splines around static mesh components in Blueprints to support bounding-box calculation, and bulk edit inner Blueprint component values through scripts.
References and dependencies check
Recursively retrieves dependencies and referencers, supports moving assets with dependencies, and gives production teams a safer way to inspect large Unreal repositories before relocation or cleanup.
Material instance automation across 4K assets
Set material parameters at scale based on naming conventions or custom logic, with tools for standardizing material instance setup across thousands of assets.
Texture discovery, compression, and packing
Find material-instance texture assets, check resolution, then compress or pack textures with ImageMagick and pngquant for repository-scale optimization.
Pivot Pointer
Changes static mesh pivot points across 27 possible positions while maintaining transforms for already placed level actors, including transform correction for instanced static meshes and StaticMesh actors.
Shaders / VFX / PCG
