What I'm looking for

Exploring roles in AI content creation, automation, visual effects, and e-commerce. After 18 years in VFX, I’m now focused on how AI-generated imagery and video can drive creativity, automation, and brand growth in the evolving digital landscape. I can work in the UK and any EU country.

I am a VFX Supervisor, Senior Nuke Compositor and Entrepeneur with extensive on-set and post-production experience across film, commercials and TV, delivering hands-on compositing and team leadership for international productions.

I founded and led multiple ventures including NU Studios and Nerdeo, growing a visual effects marketplace to 3K+ users and raising over £100K, and I now build AI-driven automations for e-commerce and marketing.

I combine technical expertise in Nuke, data wrangling and stereoscopic compositing with practical production leadership, mentoring teams and delivering complex VFX shots under tight schedules.
