Previously worked at Supermassive Games as a Junior Technical Artist (Rigging), where I contributed to the development of high-quality rigs and tools supporting the animation and technical art teams.
During my time there, I worked on titles such as The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me and Switchback VR, playing a key role in rigging characters, creatures, and props, as well as developing tools and deformation systems that improved animation fidelity and production efficiency.
