VFX Pipeline Developer
USD • Python • AYON • Kitsu • Houdini • Arnold
I build production-ready VFX pipeline tools with a strong focus on USD-centric workflows, Houdini/Solaris, and studio pipeline integration.
I have hands-on experience integrating CGWire Kitsu and AYON-style workflows into real production pipelines, bridging asset management, automation, and DCC tools in scalable studio environments.
My work is focused on solving production challenges: asset standardization, material interoperability, automation, and reliable deployment across teams.
