Dylan Amos | Senior Technical Artist

about

I am a Senior Technical Artist, Web Developer, UI/UX Designer, Artist, Tech Researcher, Optimization Geek, and a fanatical Unreal Engine developer. Quite the list, huh?

My professional path reflections my passion for both art and technology. I thrive on architecting solutions that push the boundaries of both fields, ensuring that artists and designers have the creative freedom to bring their visions to life.

One of my proudest achievements is the Unreal Directive, a passion project I developed to empower Unreal Engine developers with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in their personal projects. I invite you to check it out and share it with your peers ;)

When I'm not working, you'll likely find me immersed in my favorite games, lost in a good book, sketching new ideas, or exploring fresh research topics. These activities keep my creativity flowing and my love for learning alive!
