On a more professional subject, I started working with video when I was 16. From there I learned and worked my way through movie producers, broadcast, marketing agencies and teams, music industry, and finally game studios. My expertise in making things move combined with technical animation expertise took me to my current role as animator at Elyzio, where I focus on keyframe, expression, procedural, and technical animation for gameplay and cinematics, as well as animation logic implementation.
My set of skills, experience, knowledge of tools and grants me unparalleled versatility, not only with animation but also with design, technical art, and programming. I’m a great asset to have in any role that requires resourcefulness, technical skills, and project management, smoothly integrating creativity and tech expertise.
Outside the workplace you may find me playing video games, tattooing myself, customizing motorcycles, mastering tabletop rpg or just playing with my cats.
A B O U T
Born in the 90's, I'm deeply passionate about learning new things and doing them with my bare hands. I was always drawn to a more artistic approach on life: drawing everywhere, playing different instruments, learning new languages, and of course, taking DIY to the unhealthy level. I tried to balance that with a Master's Degree in Astrophysics, but it actually took me to the next level with programming skills and a different view of the world. I consider myself professional curious, with only a handful of things being impossible to achieve (probably).
