Timeline

2000

From Hands-On to Hands-On Leader

For a decade (2000-2010), I embraced the entrepreneurial spirit, running my own company. This experience gave me a well-rounded skillset in the world of product design and creation. I wore many hats, including product designer, 3D scanning and photogrammetry specialist, utilizing High Speed Milling and 3D Printing to bring ideas to life. Beyond the technical aspects, I honed my skills as a salesman, project manager, and collector, ensuring all aspects of a project ran smoothly.

This diverse background allows me to bring a unique perspective and a wealth of practical knowledge to any project I tackle.

Senior Realtime Tech Artist

Joined Rapidimages as a Senior Tech Artist specializing in Unreal Engine. Transitioning from traditional DCC tools to real-time ones has been an exciting shift I've been seeking.

Beginning a new job always comes with challenges, especially when diving into something almost entirely new. However, I am optimistic about the journey ahead, as I believe that overcoming these challenges and mastering real-time technologies, particularly with Unreal Engine, will lead to extraordinary rewards.
