In 2022 I finished my bachelor’s degree in „Media Informatics”, where I spent most of my time working on games for ~5 years instead of actually studying. After my thesis about using machine learning for facial animation got some traction, I got an offer to work at CDPR as a Senior Technical Animator and happily accepted it. Since then I’ve been busy working on Polaris, the new Witcher game as a Feature Owner and Technical Animation Coordinator. Next to work, I enjoy listening and creating music in various bands (I’m a drummer), as a bedroom producer and attending music festivals. I’m obviously also a huge nerd loving everything fantasy-/pen-and-paper-/MTG-/cosplay-related. Last but not least, I also really enjoy working with people, I’m well connected with local game devs of my area (Munich, Germany) and you will usually find me on company events, game jams and conferences walking around.

This initiative is really important to me personally, because I was desperately looking for guidance at the end of highschool/beginning of my studies and I would like to be that person I needed back then for someone else.

What can I help you with?

– 3D Modelling & Animation in Blender

– Creating everything from small mechanics to entire games in the Unreal Engine using Blueprints

– Technical Animation (more specifically: how characters are animated in the game using animation graphs, blends and physics)
