About
Real-time VFX/shader artist with hands-on experience shipping optimized effects for both mobile and VR in Unity. Built a time-of-day skybox shader driven by a single variable and optimized it using precomputed RGBA noise textures from Substance Designer; also created a VR shield effect designed to stay performant in a vegetation-heavy, overdraw-prone environment.
