As a Senior Technical artist at Lightspeed LA, I have been heavily focused on helping revamp and improve our pipelines and workflows for content creation.

As I was wearing many hats early on in development of the KOTOR Remake as an Environment and Material Artist, I was offered the opportunity to work closely with our Technical Art Director which eventually led to an invitation to make a transfer to the Tech Art Department as a full time Technical Artist.

As a Technical Artist I focused heavily on providing tools and pipelines for artists between DCCs and Unreal Engine 4/5. Since I transitioned at an early time in development, I have helped establish many of these pipelines from the ground up to fit our Artists needs, as well as establishing content-creation guidelines and rule-sets to provide both to internal and external artists.

As one of the first artists hired by Aspyr, I was charged with helping set up the pipelines and processes for texturing the KOTOR Remake. I provided master shaders and textures for the artists to work with in Unreal 4 and Substance, as well as began the development of the material library from the ground up.

After years of being the more technical guy on the environment team, I was offered the opportunity to transition to the technical art team at QC games. As a tech artist, I mostly served as the environment team liaison, assisting them with the more technical aspects of their production and the use of the proprietary QC tool-set. I maintained my previous heavy focus on materials and textures, but also assisted in optimization, collision, streaming, and other assorted tasks.
