I am an accomplished VFX Compositor operating within the Film & Broadcasting industry. Highlighting a track record of contributing to over 70 projects for renowned studios like Marvel, Paramount, and Warner Bros, I bring extensive expertise to the table. My journey has led me through notable VFX studios including DNEG, Digital Domain, Scanline, and Crafty Apes, where I've honed a cutting edge and meticulous approach to compositing.

Common tasks included but were not limited to:
    Compositing, Plating, Tracking, Matchmoving,
    Paint work, Camera Projections, Rotoscoping,
