    Together with the CTO and a small pipeline team I lead on the design and implementation of the main 2d/3d asset and rendering pipeline, utilising a grid engine based cluster server to automate tasks such as model, texture and matte-painting conversions. Also client quicktime generation and uploads to shotgun. I also headed the main colour pipeline for the company making sure compositors and supervisors had the correct grades and previews available on their workstations and during daily screenings.
