My mixed background in IT and Visual Effects gives me the right mix of skills to apply to various facilities and projects.
Besides being a Compositor with experience on small, medium and big scale productions I also have experience as Comp Supervisor/Lead Compositor/Pipeline Supervisor at small to midsize facilities on various sized projects including "Avengers", "Pacific Rim: Uprising" and "Ready Player One".

I was involved as Compositor and Nuke Pipeline TD.
The work involved taking ownership of shots from start to finish, mostly extensive cleanups, roto, keying, set extensions, compositing elements, CG integration and creating effects from reference images like underwater bullets, helicopter blades, smoke, grenades etc.
I managed the Nuke Pipeline, assessing the need for tools/scripts/gizmo's. When needed I would code pipeline scripts and tools and I asssisted Studio-wide with any pipeline related queries.
