Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKristijonas Jalnionis is a Lead Technical Artist with seven years of experience specializing in lighting, global illumination, PBR materials, and performance optimization for real-time and baked pipelines. He advanced Unity’s lighting workflows from QA to client-facing technical art reviews, authored a comprehensive 25-chapter lightmapping troubleshooting guide, and remastered Sponza for Unity’s public GitHub, demonstrating both technical depth and educational impact. At Unity he bridged customer needs and engine development, improved team processes (QA boards, triage, async stand-ups) and delivered actionable TAR reports to studios across games and interactive media. Now leading technical art on an unannounced project at Fun Crafters in Kraków, he combines studio leadership with hands-on shader, lighting and asset optimization work. His background spans AR pop-ups, F2P shooters, MMO prototypes and tool-driven editor contributions, giving him a rare mix of pipeline, production and support experience. Colleagues rely on him not only for fixes but for clear documentation and process changes that scale team performance.
