Tech Art Reel

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Aden. I'm a technical artist and Computer Science student at UCF — specializing in VFX, tools, and optimization in Unreal Engine 5.

Currently, I'm a Technical Art Intern at Limbitless Solutions, building tools and VFX for therapeutic video games for children with disabilties.

Outside of work, I am also the President of Game Dev Knights, where I am leading UCF's 400+ member game development organization!
