8+ years experience in Photography & graphics designing and 11+ years experience in CG industry. My strength is texturing a high quality photo-realistic character and hard surface using real life references for 3d projection and hand painted textures, if needed enhancing the look of the character by sculpting details on 3d models.

Self motivated, innovative, adapt quickly to new software's. Seeking professional opportunities with an organization which provides me job satisfaction, self-development and personal growth.Apart from family time I spend my free time to experiment with new software related to modeling ,texturing and rendering. Being curious, I like to keep learning and I always look for new exciting challenges.My goal is to be part of a team of talented people who enjoy sharing their knowledge and help each other to push things further while working on inspiring projects in an enjoyable atmosphere

Software like Mari, Photoshop, BodyPaint, Cinema4D+Arnold, Modo, Zbrush, SpeedTree, Substance Painter, Maya+Arnold, After Effects and Illustrator are my strong point.
