  For 20 months, I was the VFX Supervisor on the HD remastering of all nine seasons of the X Files. We composited over 3000 visual effects shots using completely new HD scans of the original negative. While supervising the team (which flexed between 3-7 people), I completed 800 of these shots myself.
  
  Compositor (After Effects, Mocha, Nuke, Silhouette)
  - Standard Fare (Chroma Keys, tracking, wire/rig removal, creation and comping of elements, explosions, blood, pew pew lasers, multi-pass objects, etc.)
  - 2.5D modeling and manipulation, Element3D mastery
  - Painting (traditionally trained, digitally applied)
  - Large body of work with an emphasis on problem solving / reverse engineering with limited resources, and recovering maximum bang from degraded or lossy elements.
  
  Pipeline/Macro/Tool Scriptor (AHK, Python)
  Coordinator (Excel - not just how to get around, but how to write useful functions)
  VFX Editor/Colorist (Assimilate Scratch, import and GUI scripting for ease-of-use)
  QC/Assistant Editor (Flipper/Movie FS)
  
  Before The X Files, I worked on the remastered VFX for Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the stereo conversion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.
