From a young age, I have been drawn to the world of film and motion pictures.
Working as a Compositor on several Movies, Short Films and Student Projects I’ve always found ways to automate processes and found a real passion in programming.
As a 2D Pipeline TD currently living in Cologne, Germany I can now focus on what I love, which is developing and maintaining tools for Nuke and other 2D workflow related software. Supporting the 2D Team if there are any problems in the pipeline or with Nuke is something I enjoy a lot, because I think helping people is just a thing that makes you feel good.
I am always looking for exciting new opportunities that force me to think outside the box. I love applying my creativity and problem solving skills and pushing the boundaries of what I’m capable of doing to further develop my career in the vfx industry.
