Summary
LEAD 3D TECHNICAL ARTIST | SENIOR VISUAL SYSTEMS ENGINEER
Bridging Engineering Precision with Digital Artistry
With over 20 years of expertise and an engineering background from Bauman Moscow State Technical University, I specialize in high-end visualization at the intersection of production, medicine, and AI-driven workflows. My "engineering-first" mindset ensures that every project is a scalable technical solution, not just a render.
CORE EXPERTISE & IMPACT:
[ INDUSTRIAL DESIGN & EXHIBITIONS ] — Erich Krause: End-to-end development of complex exhibition environments. I bridge the gap between creative design and engineering by providing manufacturing-ready specifications and integrating real-time engines (Unreal/Vantage) for design validation.
[ MEDICAL VR SYSTEMS ] — High-Stakes Medical VR: Led visual architecture for surgical simulation and accreditation training. Delivered anatomically precise 3D assets, real-time Unity scenes, and optimized VR performance for clinical-grade applications.
[ WORKFLOW INNOVATION ] — RenderThat, Berlin: Expert in international 3D production standards. I develop quality guidelines and automated pipelines for global brands, ensuring consistent high-end output across large teams.
[ AI-DRIVEN PRODUCTION ] — Advanced implementation of Generative AI ecosystems for conceptual design, texture synthesis, and workflow automation. I leverage AI tools to significantly optimize production cycles and asset generation.
I don't just build models — I design the production architecture. From raw technical blueprints to fully interactive, high-performance digital environments.
