GALBRAITH

As a Technical Artist

- Ability to work closely with an art team to translate design intention into engine
- Experience approximating high-cost effects on low-spec devices
- Ability to design tech art infrastructure and workflows for use at scale

As a Systems Programmer

- Ability to rapidly parse and evaluate technical papers at a 'layperson's level
- Practical approach to high-level 3d maths (splines, ballistics, graph traversal, etc)
- Experience with optimisation for mobile and low-spec devices, including Nintendo Switch

When I Approach Problems

- Broad range of cross-disciplinary secondary skillsets, and the ability to combine them in interesting ways
- Discovery-motivated, and always up to tackle complex and interesting problems
- Genuine interest in all disciplines within game dev, and willingness to learn

Specifically, I can

Management & Production:
- Design, production plan, and execute development of scalable Tech Art pipeline infrastructure
- Carry out day-to-day tasking and prioritisation for members of a multidisciplinary team
- Support and encourage the professional development of team members

Rendering:
- Build performant PBR and non-PBR lighting solutions (voxels, custom shadowcasters, etc)
- Write HLSL and GLSL shaders, both by hand and using node-based editors
- Write VFX engines and tooling for en-masse mesh drawing (artist tooling, marching cubes, direct mesh drawing, etc)

Tech Art:
- Design and implement multi-stage asset ingestion pipelines for use at scale
- Build production tools to reduce bottlenecks in asset pipelines
- Work extensively with Unity3D's PhysX implementation on mobile hardware
- Implement IK and procedural animation systems

Gameplay & Systems:
- Implement algorithms for proc-gen content (graph traversal, terrain gen, fluid sims, WFC)
- Build robust cross-project systems designed for ease of use (localisation, UI flow, FTUX)
- Do 'juice' and polish implementation (character controllers, character work, UI, VFX)
- Design and implement responsive UI designs and layouts
