Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Gallegos is a Technical Artist with 8 years of experience building high-performance, production-ready content for games and real-time 3D applications, most recently contributing to hit interactive titles at Netflix and open-source geospatial tooling at Cesium. He blends shader and tooling expertise—HLSL, Shadergraph, and Unreal material systems—with practical pipeline leadership, having created naming/asset standards, optimization workflows, and artist-friendly systems that enabled better collaboration between art, design, and engineering. At Netflix he helped Squid Game: Unleashed reach #1 in 26 countries by shaving 600K+ tris and streamlining assets for mobile; at Cesium he extended Unreal integrations to expose material overrides for 3D tilesets, showing a knack for bridging engine internals with real-world data. Comfortable across Unity and Unreal and experienced in live-event UI, digital twins, and photogrammetry-driven demos, he pairs a game-design sensibility from Drexel with a track record of shipping polished, reusable tools and tutorials. A Denver-based creator with a public portfolio and notable open-source contributions, he often focuses on practical engineering fixes that unlock better artist workflows rather than flashy one-offs.
