About me
My experience, education and skills.
I’m Jamie, a technical artist focused on developing tools, production pipelines and optimised shaders across Unreal, Unity and Houdini, in C++, C# and Python.
Right now I’m a Tech Art Intern at Epic Games on the Quixel team. I recently graduated, and alongside my tech art work I produced and led two large group projects, and both reached award finals: Borderline Racing was a Rookies 2025 finalist for Game of the Year (Console & PC), and Project UMBRAE a TIGA 2026 finalist for Best Student Game.
