Profile
As a Senior Digital Compositor, I have over 15 years of experience in the visual effects (VFX) industry. This has equipped me with expertise in a broad spectrum of compositing tasks.
Every project I’ve done has been completed on schedule, without compromising on excellence, a standard that has anchored my role in Trixter's core compositing team for six years. My drive to stay at the forefront of technology has led me to explore fields like Python, Machine Learning and DeepFake.
​
My skill set spans from executing flawless 2D cleanups to seamlessly integrating complex CGI into live-action footage. Beyond routine tasks, my contributions include developing advanced setups and workflows in areas such as Look Development, Template Creation and Copycat neural networks, thereby boosting efficiency and streamlining team processes.
Having a comprehensive understanding of the VFX pipeline, including animation, direction, production, and editing, allows me to participate in a project's bigger picture.
Whether contributing to major blockbusters or independent projects, my primary goal remains the same: to consistently push the boundaries of creativity and efficiency while ensuring reliability.
