About

20+ years across the frame and the codebase.

I've led pipeline engineering at Fix Visual Effects, and built production tools and AI workflows at Halon Entertainment, DNEG, MARZ and ReDefine. VFXellence is how I package that experience for clients: one senior person, a network of specialists, and no account layer.
