3D game environment artist - with a little twist on the technical side.
Composition, lighting, high and low-poly modeling, texturing and shading. And VFX, too.
My education and background are strongly technical, due to my Computer Engineering master degree, but during my career I've developed artistical skills, passing trought various drawing courses, photography and mere observation of nature.
So I'm a kind of technical guy with a good taste, a thing that set me apart from the mass.
My technical background always helped me to solve or find a different way to solve "artistical" problems, such as pipeline automation or custom scripts. On the other hand, my taste help me to search the best possible visual appeal.
