Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohin Knight is a Technical Artist with 13 years of cross-disciplinary experience building tools, shaders, and systems for AAA, mobile, and VR games across Unity, Unreal, and proprietary engines. He combines deep engineering skills (C#, C++, PCG, Niagara, shader authoring) with practical pipeline automation for art teams, having shipped procedural generation tools, optimized render pipelines, and performance-conscious effects for platforms from iOS to Quest 3. As a senior contributor and lead at studios like PlaySide, PikPok and Myria, he has driven architecture and tooling adoption, authored coding standards, and improved workflows through editor plugins and studio-wide automation. Notable technical contributions include a procedural spline/PCG tool, real-time crack propagation, VAT shader fixes for believable shatter, and a multi-row UI pooling system now reused across projects. He also brings a breadth of experience beyond games—mobile banking apps, Web3 contracts, and backend tooling—plus proven mentorship and recruitment chops. Based in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, Rohin pairs a coder’s rigor with a technical artist’s eye to deliver polished, production-ready systems that make teams faster.
