-  <p><strong>My name is Andrey Flat</strong>, and I am a computer graphics artist with over two decades of experience in visual storytelling and digital effects.</p>
-  <p><em>My journey began in 2003</em> with an interest in machinima, where I explored creative workflows using tools like <strong>Sony Vegas</strong>, <strong>Daz 3D</strong>, and <strong>3ds Max</strong>. In 2008, I transitioned into professional video editing for television, focusing primarily on <strong>Adobe After Effects</strong>.</p>
-  <p>In 2011, I joined a film studio where I expanded my expertise into <strong>color grading</strong>, <strong>compositing</strong>, and ultimately took on the role of <strong>visual effects supervisor</strong>. During this time, I worked with industry-standard tools such as <strong>Final Cut</strong>, <strong>DaVinci Resolve</strong>, <strong>Cinema 4D</strong>, <strong>Naiad</strong>, and <strong>Houdini</strong>.</p>
-  <p>In 2014, I founded my own studio, AEVA, and since 2017, I’ve been working independently as a freelance artist. Today, I specialize in <strong>procedural</strong> and <strong>generative visual effects</strong> using <strong>Houdini</strong>, <strong>Nuke</strong>, and <strong>ComfyUI</strong> — tools that allow me to push the boundaries of motion graphics and visual design.</p>
