Technical Artist | Unity | Shaders | VFX | Lookdev | Optimization
Technical Artist with 5+ years in the games industry, specialising in Unity. I've worked on projects as the main TA supporting multiple departments on a 30-person team, owning the full technical art pipeline from pre-production through to release. My strongest work is helping studios achieve a specific look in engine - taking concept art or visual references and building the shaders, lighting, post-processing, and material pipelines to get there. If your team has a visual target and needs someone to own the technical path to it, that's where I do my best work. What I work on: • Lookdev and art style pipelines - shaders, lighting, post-processing • Custom shaders and materials (Shader Graph, HLSL, URP/HDRP) • VFX - Unity VFX Graph and Particle Systems • Performance optimisation - profiling, draw calls, overdraw, memory • Editor tools and workflow scripts for art teams I have a 3D art background, so I understand the asset pipeline and the technical side, useful for bridging art and engineering or debugging visual problems across the stack. I also mentor technical artists at various career stages, which keeps me sharp on fundamentals as well as current practices. Available for short contracts, part-time ongoing work (20hrs/week max), and technical consultations.
