Created black box automation tools to aid in remote workflows. Ongoing development of a next-gen purely pythonic PC and mobile 2D game engine, and working with Mighty Yeti to automate and streamline their passion project pipelines.

Developed and maintained production-critical Python systems in a collaborative engineering environment. Contributed Python code with typing, unit tests, and workflow tooling to improve maintainability and reliability.

Led a team of 5-8 technical developers while building a large-scale production pipeline across UE4/5 and VFX workflows. Designed Python-based systems and workflow tooling, and supported migration from legacy processes to more maintainable solutions.

Worked on an internal Python project to organise and upgrade parts of the performance pipeline from Python 2 to Python 3. Maintained and improved tools used by active teams while supporting ongoing production work.

Developed Python and PyQt tools within a collaborative team environment supporting multiple large-scale productions. Strengthened knowledge of USD-based workflows and contributed to system improvements across active projects.

Led pipeline development and supervised CG delivery for the film Mosley. Built many tools to improve workflow speed and usability, and designed systems for file transfer and pipeline automation for cross-studio data movement and maintenance.

Co-developed a new Maya pipeline for VRay, including back-end systems for publishing, render-layer organisation, and data movement using JSON and SQL-backed workflows. Built tools for rendering workflows and helped develop and integrate a proxy system into the pipeline.

Completed an Advanced Diploma in 3D Animation from Lifeway College from 2010 to 2012.
