💫 Who I am: 🎮 Technical Artist & Game Developer with an Ivy League background and AAA experience. 🚀 Co-founder of SplitSide Games and made Fling to the Finish, a physics-based multiplayer game built in Unity and released on Steam, Switch, PlayStation and Xbox 🕹️ Procedural Technical Artist @ Rockstar Games – built procedural tech-art systems, pipelines and helped identify critical in-game shader issues 🎓 MS, Computer Graphics & Game Technology – University of Pennsylvania (Ivy League) - built ultra-performance critical rendering, raytracing and path-tracing pipelines using the entire GPU tech stack (CUDA, Vulkan, Direct X, WebGPU). I helped take Fling to the Finish from concept to post-launch support, handling technical direction, gameplay systems, console optimization, and everything else in between. The game reached 600K+ players and made $1M+ in gross revenue on Steam alone. I have experience in the full spectrum of game development: going from a small 5 person indie team launching a cross-platform game to AAA production. 💡 What I do best: • Unity & C# gameplay, tools, systems, and graphics (10 years Unity experience) • Multiplayer & physics-heavy systems • Procedural & technical art workflows and animation-systems • Critical graphics optimizations and visually impressive shaders • Console + Mobile optimization (esp. Switch & Android/iOS)
