Carlos has taught me a lot about many things and helped me learn/grow about many new things/techniques. We wouldn’t be where we are at today without him. I really do appreciate everything he has given.
Not only on the skill side and direct work side but also helped Enver create and foster a team culture and chemistry throughout the teams you were working with which is essential to creating a motivated, but light and fun environment to work in.”

It’s always a pleasure to see how he finishes a 3D scene, taking care of the lighting and and every shader specification.
He is also a classic artist, with drawing, color and anatomy knowledge, skills that make him a valuable asset.
