For over 15 years I have worked as a Nuke Compositor and VFX Supervisor on various feature films such as "Skyfall" and "Godzilla", TV series such as "Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events", music videos for artists such as Pink and Latto, and commercials for Volvo. I excel at green screen removal, rotoscoping, blood, gunshots, stop motion rig removal, stereo conversion, and beauty FX work.

I have also worked for the past 4 years doing Virtual Production using Unreal Engine. I have worked on music videos for Justin Bieber and Yeat, corporate videos for Disney, Chipotle, and Monster, broadcast TV clients such as CBS and Univision, as well as the independent feature film titled "Offcentered". I excel at using various camera tracking systems such as Stype, Mosys, and Vive Mars, keying and compositing with Reality Engine, calibrating lenses, building and optimizing Unreal Engine levels, and troubleshooting problems to achieve a photo-real result in real-time.
