Hire Me
As a Senior Production Services Technician, I am developing tools and procedures that will aid in the delivery of final assets for the animated feature. I have also taken lead on a project to develop a new suite of Python software that will standardize facility resource projections by using statistical analysis.
During the early stages of production I acted as the stand-in lead by taking on major data management/cue configuration responsibilities, assigning/overseeing the development of new tools for the show to one of our junior technicians and working with production to streamline the procedures for all future reviews and deliveries.
Previously I was the night supervisor for an international team of Production Services Technicians on the post production of The Amazing Spiderman 2 (2014) at Sony Pictures Imageworks.
Our team was responsible for developing and maintaining tools to ingest vendor and client materials, streamline and improve efficiency of internal pipelines, manage render farm and storage resources and prepare and deliver the final product per client specifications.
As the night supervisor I acted as the point person for all priority and technical issues regarding the render farm and our incoming and outgoing deliveries. I was also working with the technology and resources groups to develop new and improved facility tools to benefit our department's workflow.
