Giuseppe Boschiero

Principal Technical Artist

Unreal Engine | Shaders | Optimization | Tools

I'm a Principal Technical Artist with 8 years of experience across computer graphics, 3D art, and technical art — specializing in Unreal Engine 4 and 5. I bridge the gap between art and engineering, building the shaders, tools, and pipelines that bring games to life across teams of all sizes, from tight indie squads to mid-sized studios of up to 50. Beyond shipped titles, I've spent 3 years teaching senior-level university courses in computer graphics and Unreal Engine game development — breaking down complex technical systems and making them accessible without losing the depth. Whether it's GPU optimization, Niagara VFX, or editor tooling, I care about craft, performance, and empowering the teams around me.
