About Me
Visual Effects Compositor
I'm a passionate VFX compositor with more than 10 years of experience in the film and entertainment industry. My journey has taken me through several prestigious studios, including ILM Sydney, Luma Pictures, and MPC Bangalore.
Throughout my career, I've worked with Nuke and gained knowledge in Unreal Engine, Renderman, and Arnold. I'm familiar with USD pipeline and comfortable with Python programming for various automation tasks.
In my free time, I research and test various AI tools, including ComfyUI and n8n. I have experience using CopyCat for Nuke and experiment with local AI models to push the boundaries of what's possible in VFX.
