I'm a 3D generalist with a faible for PBR materials and technical stuff like shaders. I use either UE or Godot, depending on the project.
Thanks for pointing that out. I should probably revise my robots.txt file as well.

Thank you very much for these valuable insights.

And on the other hand from the fact that I have a very quick grasp and can therefore familiarize myself very quickly with new topics if they are part of my special interest.
Thank you to everyone who has read this wall-of-text. It just had to come out.

I am convinced that I can do a good job if I am given a chance. On the one hand, I take this conviction from my professional life to date, because everyone who has worked with me in the past has generally been highly satisfied, which I can prove both through certificates and job references.

Above all, nobody has time to deal with potential candidates these days, so many candidates who might even be better suited to job advertisements fall through the grid.

and am now trying to get into the industry as a freelancer.
The current times in the industry are generally not easy and even less so without industry experience. If you also find networking difficult and have to be careful not to overexert yourself at events, it becomes even harder.

One after-effect of my burnout is that I can no longer program full-time. I realized that it works best for me if I compensate my “programming time” with “visual art”. That's why I did my diploma in “GameArt and 3D Animation” at the SAE with the aim of going in the direction of technical art

The big difference between these situations is that I really enjoy talking about my “special interest”, which in my case is computer science in general and video game development in particular.

but only at first glance.
For example: I am introverted and have to overcome myself to approach people I don't know and talk to them. On the other hand, I love teaching other people things and have no problem standing on a stage to give a technical talk.

My favorite saying about autism is: “If you know an autistic person, you know exactly one autistic person.” There are aspects of me that are typically attributed to autistic people, but there are also aspects that are rather unusual. Sometimes these sides also seem to contradict each other,

As part of my therapy and the associated search for causes, I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. I have never struggled with this diagnosis, as it explains large parts of my problems and difficulties in my life so far and I can use it proactively to at least partially prepare people for me

I discovered computer science early on through video games, even though I've never worked on a commercial game. I was actually very happy as a full-stack software developer and achieved much more academically with my M.Sc. in Computer Science than I originally thought. Then came the burnout...
