Senior VFX Compositor. 15 years at Industrial Light & Magic, Weta FX, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Framestore, and Scanline VFX.

These days I research and build generative-AI workflows for post-production using ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Qwen, WanVideo, and LTX-Video. Several of these custom ComfyUI pipelines have shipped on feature films. The goal is the same on both ends: faster turnarounds and less tedium for artists, whether the setup is a beginner-friendly recipe or a studio-grade pipeline. Every output is held to a "VFX-approved" bar: cinematic lighting, realistic textures, strict plate fidelity.

Compositing stays node-based in Nuke, with Python for pipeline automation and a growing library of custom tools and plugins. I share the workflows on my Comfy Compositing YouTube channel.
