Building real-time graphics, custom shaders & artist pipelines.
I am Ahmed Osama, a Technical Artist & Technical Game Designer with a Computer Science degree from AASTMT. I build custom HLSL shaders, real-time VFX, artist-friendly pipeline tools, and gameplay systems across Unreal Engine 5 and Unity.
Core Focus
Custom Shaders · Real-Time VFX · Multi-DCC Tooling · Graphics Optimization
Core Disciplines
Where technical precision
meets player feel.
Bridging the gap between artist vision, gameplay design, and engine performance constraints without compromise.
Tools & Pipeline Automation
Python and PySide scripts for Maya, Blender, and standalone asset validation tools that prevent broken builds early.
Python 3 · PySide · DCC Tools · C#Engine Profiling & Optimization
GPU draw-call reduction, overdraw inspection, vertex caching, texture packing, and render pipeline debugging.
RenderDoc · Unreal Insights · Frame DebuggerTechnical Game Design
Responsive player feel, combat hitstop, feedback loops, and rapid gameplay prototyping in Unity and Unreal.
Gameplay Systems · Blueprints · C#Featured Projects
Production Work &
Technical Case Studies.
Hands-on pipeline tools, custom HLSL shader breakdowns, and playable system prototypes built for real-time game development.
01
TechArt Toolkit
Catch and resolve bad assets before they ever reach the game build.
A multi-DCC asset-validation suite built to protect game builds. Automatically validates naming conventions, folder hierarchies, missing textures, non-manifold geometry, inverted UVs, and vertex counts, providing artists with immediate actionable feedback instead of dense log errors.
Python 3
PySide / PyQt
Unity C#
Automated Asset QA
02
Real-Time VFX & Custom Shaders
Stylized combat VFX, procedural surface dissolution, and mobile-optimized lighting.
Engineered real-time particle and shader systems for gameplay, characters, and environments. Diagnosed critical pixelation and overdraw issues in an interactive lava shader, implementing a custom HLSL bicubic sampling function that resolved visual artifacts while adhering to strict mobile frame budgets.

03
RE:FRAME
What if technical engine systems became the player's core gameplay abilities?
A systemic action-adventure prototype exploring mechanics around Inspect, Debug, Rewire, Simulate, and Rebuild. Built around tactile game feel, readable combat consequences, and custom visual feedback shaders that communicate system states directly to the player.

Production Workflow
From Asset Friction
to In-Game Performance.
I build tools that solve daily artist friction, write custom shaders that run within tight frame budgets, and teach the concepts so the entire development team benefits.
Through the Technical Art Academy, I also author bilingual lessons in Arabic and English, breaking down complex shader math, vector fields, and render pipeline concepts for the next generation of game developers.
01
Analyze Friction
Identify where artists, designers, or engine performance face production bottlenecks.
02
Rapid Prototyping
Build working HLSL shaders or Python automation scripts to validate feasibility early.
03
Profile & Benchmark
Measure draw calls, overdraw, and vertex counts with RenderDoc and engine profilers.
04
Deploy Artist UI
Package tools into clean PySide or custom Inspector UIs with clear actionable feedback.
05
Document & Share
Publish clear documentation and tutorials so solutions become studio standards.
“Technology in games isn’t decoration. It exists to make the player feel the world and help the team build without friction.”
Studio & Initiatives
