Hi, I want to tell you about myself a little bit.

I studied engineering in the most prestigious university in my region but chose to be a CG artist because of my passion to make people excited by creating unseen imaginations. I have achieved a great deal of experience and different skills from the projects (ads, movies, cartoon series, feature films, etc..) that I have worked in. I really want to work on creating a new visual language with a team of marvelous people.

As an educated engineer I'm a problem solver and quick learner and I'm always open to learning and growing. I am known as a responsible and very hard working professional. Ah, also my super power is efficiency :)

Thank you for your valuable time.
