Summary

Started my career in early 2000s as a VFX Artist for commercials and feature films.

Went into indie gamedev in 2015.

After 4 titles with some assorted successes (multiple titles being featured on the App Store, one of them being chosen as "best mobile game of the year" in 2020) I transitioned into "major" companies such as Sunday and Product Madness, where I can utilize my broad knowhow in every aspect of games development initially as a Senior Technical Artist, and now as an Associate Art Lead.
