With over 15 years of experience in the CG world, I worked on feature films, short films and commercials - either animated or VFX.

I was CG Supervisor on the animated special Angela's Christmas and the TV series Chico Bon Bon in Brown Bag Films. I jumped to Compositing Supervisor in Boulder Media on the animated feature My Little Pony: A New Generation released in 2021, where I've setup the show's Nuke workflow and tools, and lead a compositing/shot finaling team.

I am currently Head of CG in Windmill Lane VFX, working on TV series and feature films.

I also wrote and directed two animated shorts films, Tríd an Stoirm (2012 - 4 Best Animation awards) and Forest Lights (2014).

I have been doing talks and courses over the years either on specific projects or on CG as a whole.
