About

I am a 3D artist with extensive experience in the gaming industry, working on a variety of projects that involve modeling, rendering, and creating cinematic elements for games. At Whalo, I contributed to the "Fish of Fortune" game, where I optimized the rendering and lighting, created more than 15 in-game environments, and designed UI elements and Live Ops content. Previously, I worked as a freelance 3D artist and art outsource manager, where I recruited and led teams for art and sound development in projects like "Mancala Quest" and created game props for titles like "Sands of Aura." My role involved managing multiple aspects of production, including normal baking, texturing, and animation. Over the years, I have honed my skills working with companies such as EvoPlay, Playson, and Skywind Group, where I contributed to the development of innovative slot games and table games like Blackjack and Baccarat. I also created cinematic content for games like "Dungeon: Immortal Evil" and "World Farm Adventure," taking charge of tasks like environment design, shading, lighting, and post-production. My educational background in Philology from Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, with a focus on English and French languages, has also helped me effectively collaborate with international teams throughout my career.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with.

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly.”
