AI filmmaking / pipeline engineering / visual effects
AI Filmmaker, Technical Director & Developer
Creating immersive digital experiences with generative AI, ComfyUI workflows, local inference, and production-proven VFX pipeline engineering.
I build tools and workflows that let artists move faster without flattening the creative process.
I am a software engineer and technical director with over a decade of production experience across animation, visual effects, lighting, compositing, and pipeline development. My current focus is AI filmmaking: ComfyUI workflows, custom nodes, image and video models, local inference, and automation for creative production.
I have worked with studios including Walt Disney Animation Studios, Cinesite Vancouver, Blizzard Entertainment, MPC, and Sony Pictures Imageworks, contributing to films, series, and cinematic work where technical systems and visual craft meet.
A mix of current development focus and past production work for animation, VFX, and cinematic pipelines.
A custom Python bridge that connects ComfyUI's node-based generative workflows with Nuke, exposing AI inpainting, outpainting, background generation, and image operations directly inside a compositing environment.
Custom nodes and workflow experiments for image, video, automation, and practical local inference.
Tools and conventions for lighting, comp, EFX, DMP, LookDev, asset management, render workflows, and department handoffs.
Liaison between CG supervisors, pipeline supervisors, heads of department, developers, and IT while guiding small developer teams.

Inspired by the update stream on the older site, this area can become a lightweight changelog for releases, films, workflow drops, and studio news.
Reframing the site around AI filmmaking, ComfyUI development, local inference, and technical direction for production workflows.
Links to AI-assisted films, workflow diagrams, node releases, and behind-the-scenes process notes will live here.
