I’ve been working as a Pipeline Developer / Technical Artist for over 10 years at various VFX studios
helping build, scale, and maintain systems that are proven in production. Recently I have taken a strong
interest in mobile game production and have been focusing on bringing my experience to that world as
well as building new skills. No matter what I’m doing, I like to bring new and creative solutions to whatever
task is at hand.
