Nurturing Local Indie Community
Nurturing Local Indie Community
In 2022, Tbilisi welcomed a great deal of expats, many of whom worked or were interested in Game Development. In 2023, the Whatevers team and I played a part in forming a local Game Dev community by providing a social platform (250+ members) and organizing accessible events that included lectures, masterclasses, workshops, game showcases, and giveaways. The events received outstanding praise from the Indie Game Dev community.
By actively engaging in the organization process, I was able to work on promo texts and visuals, conduct presentations and masterclasses on Unreal Engine, manage people and processes, and try my hand at budgeting.

About me
About me
I have been tinkering around in Blender ever since 2019. It has been a powerful tool and a trusted companion on my path to becoming a Technical Artist. My first paid work included Product and Architectural Visualizations. This experience allowed me to advance into Game Development as a 3D Generalist. Soon I realized that I had passion not only for modeling and texturing, but also for Lighting, Shaders, and Optimization. My experience and growing expertise have put me in charge of mentoring Junior Artists and effective communication between Artists and Developers on numerous projects.
My interest in leadership and communication gave me an opportunity to become a student at Coursera. Over the years I've acquired certificates on International Leadership and Organizational Behavior, Successful Negotiation, and Google Project Management: Professional Certificate. On top of that, I speak 3 languages and I have completed courses on Accessibility and Agile Project Management. These skills go a long way with my curiosity and strive for improvement: I believe that with patience and guidance anyone can learn anything.
