Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a freelance Technical Artist based in Montreal, with over 3 years of experience on Unreal Engine (notably Unknown9: Awakening, AAA published by Bandai Namco).

I work on:

- Unreal shaders and materials (stylized, photorealistic, post-process)

- Real-time Archviz (integration, lighting, Lumen/VSM rendering)

- Photorealistic product rendering in Unreal Engine

- Procedural tools (Houdini Engine, PCG, scatter)

- Scene optimization (profiling, Unreal Insights, Razor)

- Pipeline automation (Blueprint, Python scripts)

I help studios and agencies deliver high-performing and visually polished scenes, whether for video game projects or real-time architectural visualization.
