Pavel ZosimTechnical Artist / realtime systems
code × art → automate
I am a multidisciplinary Technical Artist with over six years of professional experience in real-time production and nearly two decades in computer graphics.
I build reusable systems across procedural workflows, simulations, real-time VFX, shaders, and production tools — and document the reasoning and decisions behind them.
