Paul Greveson - Senior Technical Artist
Based in Stockholm, Sweden.
About Me
I am a passionate developer of interactive entertainment, with over 18 years of experience in game development and a strong desire to create and innovate through rapid prototyping.
With skills rooted in traditional art education and the game modding community, I have a wide range of experience across all aspects of game development, from content creation to gameplay code, and production work.
Since technology moves at such a fast pace, I find that I am always learning, while also looking to educate and encourage my team-mates to ensure we are aligned and engaged.
Most recently I have been involved in procedural creation tools, Machine Learning processes for creating content and animating creatures, and big data visualization in real-time.
