15 years experience in film and commercials visual effects (7 years as a lead artist) on various positions.

I think of myself as a generalist. I can help with most tasks needed to produce high end 3d assets or shots, from modeling and texturing all the way to shading, lighting and rendering, which are my most developed skills.

Apart from that I am able to perform TD oriented tasks like building Houdini Digital Assets, procedural modelling systems, or offer technical solutions and workflows for your projects.

My strong personal skills are self-motivation, ability to problem solve, reliability. I am fast, focused and organised, always delivering the best possible results in given time.
