I have been working in Nuke for about 10 years. I started with a heavy emphasis on paint and stereoscopic conversion and have grown into a conventional VFX compositor who has some look development under my belt. I am fully licensed with NukeX and work as a freelancer. Here's some links to my demo material, etc:
