I'm Dylan Amos, a Senior Technical Artist

I am a Technical Director with more than 10 years of experience in technical art and Unreal Engine development. My work centers on optimization, gameplay systems, and technical research. I oversee technical implementation across multiple projects, define project architecture, profile performance, and resolve the problems that emerge between creative goals and production constraints.

Most of my development work is in C++, Python, and Blueprints. I build replicated gameplay frameworks and production tools, evaluate new engine features and development techniques, and turn that research into workflows teams can use. My work has supported projects for organizations including Epic Games, NVIDIA, HP, Festo, Lenovo, Mitsubishi Motors, and General Dynamics.

I created Unreal Directive to publish practical Unreal Engine research, tools, and documentation. I also founded Nyarenari, where I develop games and software.
