Worked as a 3D Generalist at Gameloft from June 2022 to 2024, contributing to the development of high-quality game assets for real-time applications. My role involved creating and optimizing 3D models, texturing, lighting, and integrating assets into game engines. I worked extensively with Autodesk Maya and Substance Painter to produce game-ready assets, ensuring performance optimization and visual consistency. I also contributed to real-time VFX and scene setup, enhancing overall gameplay visuals. In addition to my studio responsibilities, I independently worked on personal & freelance compositing projects using Nuke and other industry-standard tools, focusing on CG integration, compositing, look development, color correction workflows. Collaborating with designers and developers, I followed production pipelines and met deadlines in a fast-paced environment. This role strengthened my expertise in game development workflows, real-time asset creation, and post-production compositing.
