What I do

01

Pipeline TD

Custom tools for Maya, Houdini, Nuke. Render farm management, asset pipelines, ShotGrid integration.

02

Full-Stack Dev

Production web apps in React and Node.js. REST APIs, Docker, AWS, CI/CD — end to end.

03

AI / ML

Exploring intelligent automation for creative workflows — quality control, asset processing, prompt engineering.

Pipeline TD → Full-Stack → AI / ML

Production problems → scalable solutions → intelligent automation.

About

Two decades spanning creative production and software engineering. I've evolved into a Pipeline TD who also builds full-stack applications — and I'm actively expanding into AI/ML for creative workflows.

This means end-to-end ownership: I architect a pipeline tool, build its web interface, deploy it to the cloud, and maintain it. No handoffs, no communication gaps.

"I don't just fix problems — I build systems that prevent them."
