Bjorn K. — Product Engineer
Hi, I'm a Lead Technical Artist with 20 years of professional experience in mostly games. Highlights so far are working on titles like Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza Motorsport and The Division 2 but also something completely different like 30000 M2 of rocks in Wildlands Adventure Zoo or dental implants at Molaris AI. I started as a Generalist (Animation/Environments) before gradually shifting to designing & building procedural pipelines and content creation together with various APIs, 3D authoring tools and game engines. Later on as experience grew I became a Team Lead, being both hands-on but also leading Tech Art teams.
Stackforce AI infers this person is a Technical Artist specializing in game development with a focus on procedural content creation.
