About Me
I'm a Generalist Technical Artist with a passion for building pipelines that make game development faster, prettier, and more efficient.
My journey into gamedev started in the early 2000s with map editors, and it never stopped. Today I specialize in Unreal Engine — from materials and Niagara VFX to Blueprint systems and Python-based tooling. I bridge the gap between art and engineering, ensuring every pixel serves both aesthetics and performance.
As an Epic Games Authorized Instructor (GOLD), I lead a developer community of 1,000+ members and run workshops for both beginners and seasoned professionals. I've shipped multiple titles on Steam and continue pushing the boundaries of real-time rendering.

Shipped Games
Published titles on Steam — from horror narratives to physics-based platformers.
King of The Jesters
First-person adventure horror with puzzles, RPG elements, and a poly-antagonism system. A punk rock singer trapped in a fantastical world.
D.V. Ex Agent (Ep. 1)
Narrative walking simulator with horror elements set in the post-Soviet era. A government agent with amnesia reconstructs his past.
Thanks Merlin
Adventure platformer investigating an abandoned high-tech entertainment complex. Gravity gun, scientific puzzles, and retro mini-games.
Goo Go
Foddian climbing platformer with triple jump mechanics. Every mistake sends you back to the start. Online co-op support.
Suspense: Madman's Dreams
Psychological horror inspired by real manifestations of mental disorders. Voice-controlled gameplay and psychedelic environments.
Hold My Wheel
Post-apocalyptic multiplayer madness. A ragtag crew of survivors somehow made it through the end of the world — and they're still looking for somewhere safe. Fast, chaotic, and built on pure spite.
Unreal Plugins
Tools built to streamline game publishing pipelines — from editor to storefront in one click.
Easy Steam Push
One-click build and deploy from Unreal Engine directly to Steam. Eliminates the manual SteamPipe routine — configure, package, and push with Steam Guard confirmation, without leaving the editor.
- Auto SteamCMD install & SteamPipe integration
- Depot, branch & app ID config in-editor
- Shipping / Development / Debug build modes
- Steam Guard mobile confirmation flow
Easy Itch Push
One-click packaging and upload from Unreal Engine to itch.io via official Butler CLI. API key or password auth, channel & version management, real-time progress notifications — all from the editor toolbar.
- Butler CLI auto-detect / install in-editor
- API key or OAuth login — no password stored
- Channel, version & project-ID management
- Cancelable upload with Output Log integration
FAB Marketplace
