Pavel ZosimTechnical Artist / realtime systems

My work focuses on building scalable, maintainable real-time systems that bridge art and engineering. I develop shaders, procedural workflows, real-time VFX, asset pipelines, and production tools while ensuring they remain performant, reusable, and practical for day-to-day development.

I have contributed to commercial XR and interactive productions including the Emmy-nominated Blumhouse Enhanced Cinema experience at Nexus Studios for Meta, and the NASA First Woman XR platform, recognized with American Advertising Awards. Both required balancing visual quality with strict real-time performance budgets across multiple target platforms.

Rather than creating one-off solutions, I design modular workflows and reusable architectures that improve iteration speed, reduce maintenance, and support artists throughout production. My approach combines procedural thinking, mathematics, rendering, optimization, and visual design.

My experience includes HLSL shader authoring, Houdini procedural systems, real-time VFX, Python and C# tooling, asset integration, VR and mobile optimization, and collaboration between artists and engineers. I document workflows and technical research through this blog and ongoing R&D projects.
