Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBryn Dickinson is a technical artist and games programmer based in Glasgow with nine years of experience blending low-level systems work (ECS, shaders, Unity DOTS) with illustration, animation and narrative design. Currently at Holonautic, Bryn works across Quest 2 VR development—optimising performance, authoring shaders and VFX, and modelling—while previously building interactive visualisation frameworks and course content at Brilliant.org. A self-taught animator and lifelong maker, Bryn draws creative influence from experimental anime auteurs and channels that aesthetic into both indie game projects (e.g. THRUST//DOLL) and commissioned artwork. They contribute open-source front-end fixes to legacy projects like XKit, demonstrating attention to parsing edge cases and maintainable JavaScript. Bryn’s work is driven by a fascination with mathematical structure and clever optimisations, and by a desire to fuse technical rigor with emotionally resonant, body-centric storytelling.
