Sep 2022 to Present

Sprung Studios

Technical Artist

Tech art across multiple shipped AAA titles: shaders, materials, pipelines, and real-time systems for HUD, menus, stores, and scoreboards.

Developed HLSL shaders and real-time material systems for HUD elements, mission screens, hub layouts, menus, and scoreboards, driving animated state transitions via Material Parameter Collections and Blueprint event dispatchers
Wrote a custom HLSL 9-slice shader enabling resolution-independent panels and borders without texture stretching at any resolution
Built and maintained a master material library with reusable material functions, eliminating redundant shader variants and accelerating iteration across projects
Architected stateful widget and logic systems using Blueprint interfaces, event dispatchers, and MVVM patterns, managing complex state, data binding, and reactive feedback tied to gameplay input
Ensured localization compliance across systems with text containers, font scaling, and layouts accommodating multiple languages and accessibility standards on console and PC
Collaborated with engineers and artists to define asset pipelines and resolve cross-discipline challenges; authored documentation and shader breakdowns to standardize workflows

Sprung Studios · Open to work

Technical Artist with over three years of experience building and optimizing real-time visuals for AAA games. I focus on shader development, material systems, and pipeline tooling across Unreal Engine 5, Unity, and Frostbite. I create the tools and workflows that let art teams move faster without sacrificing quality.

I care about the craft. Whether that’s a clean master material, a well-documented shader breakdown, or a performance fix nobody else noticed. I like finding elegant solutions to messy problems. I work best in collaborative teams where art and engineering talk to each other.

Currently open to full-time and contract opportunities. Feel free to reach out.
