To support our studio's transition into 3D environments, I developed a series of custom shaders that met the creative vision while ensuring exceptional performance on mobile devices. By leveraging techniques such as batching, culling, material property blocks, and other optimizations, I successfully kept Set Pass Calls in the scene under 75, providing ample performance headroom for 3D and VFX teams to realize their creative goals.
Additionally, I templated the project to enable quick reskinning, incorporating standardized conventions, optimizations, and processes. This approach ensured efficiency, consistency, and scalability across multiple projects, streamlining the reskinning process while maintaining high-quality results.
I have streamlined and optimized production pipelines, enabling artists and engineers to deliver more content with reduced effort. This includes developing custom templates and editor tools, establishing conventions and workflows, and creating comprehensive training and documentation.
By fostering effective communication across global engineering, creative, and production teams, I’ve ensured consistent, efficient, and high-quality project delivery.
Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in rapid prototyping, enabling developers to quickly evaluate the feasibility of new concepts. This agile approach supports informed decision-making and accelerates development timelines.
This example is the creation of a night-time version of the MyVEGAS Slots lobby—a game with over 10 million downloads. This prototype demonstrated the potential for visual variation, aligning with creative goals while maintaining the game’s established performance and quality standards.
I bring extensive experience with Unity's animation and VFX toolsets, creating dynamic, visually compelling content that enhances gameplay and storytelling. In these examples, I also built the hierarchies allowing for transitions that respond to the player's input. My expertise spans crafting smooth, optimized animations and developing high-quality visual effects in-line with the creative direction, ensuring performance is maintained on all target platforms.
