I've been working as a compositor and Lighting LookDev artist over the last 12 years in the VFX industry across multiple locations and studios on both film and television.
Before VFX I was on the production side of film for 12 years working as a sort of journeyman in the art department; building sets as a carpenter, painter, and general craftsman, and also work as a cameraman, grip, assistant to DP, among other roles.
