Experience
- Artist, Technical III at Everi / IGTUSJanuary 2020 - Present
I make mobile casino games. I am both artist and dev. Sometimes I'm the artist (where most of the responsibility is to animate), and other times I'm the developer (putting the game together, and creating custom scripts for customized visuals and functionality). I help both artists and devs with problems that relate to the rendering pipeline (most often Spine related).
I occasionally create shaders or convert existing ones to work with our game engine; depending on what suites our needs. - Production Animator at Micro Gaming TechnologiesLas VegasJune 2017 - December 2019
