Unlocking the Potential of VFX

I am a seasoned Pipeline Technical Director with a rich tapestry of experience, having woven my path through prestigious studios such as Animal Logic, MPC, and Legend 3D. My journey has traversed the realms of editing, tracking, rotoAnim, layout, animation, matchmove, and compositing. This dynamic voyage has forged my expertise in the Maya Python API and Nuke Python API, making me a beacon of technical prowess in the world of visual effects.
 

Collaborative Problem Solver

My career has been marked by seamless collaboration with Technical Directors, Production Supervisors, and VFX Supervisors, where I have played a pivotal role in creating, nurturing, and advancing production pipelines. My commitment extends beyond the technical realm; I provide unwavering support to artists, troubleshooting and debugging production issues with finesse.
 

Elevating Artistry and Efficiency

One of my true passions lies in crafting tools and procedures that elevate the artistry and efficiency of our projects. I'm not merely a technician; I am an artist at heart. My ability to infuse a keen visual aesthetic into the pipeline bolsters storytelling, ensuring that every frame is a masterpiece.
 

The Journey from Artist to TD

My journey commenced as an artist, honing my skills at Rhythm & Hues, an illustrious starting point for my career. I spent three impactful years at MPC Bangalore, evolving from a junior artist to a Senior Artist. Yet, my hunger for knowledge and growth led me down a different path. In my fourth year, I embarked on a journey into Python, nurtured by the pyCurious in-house training program. This transformation was pivotal. With newfound skills, I embarked on a parallel track, unofficially taking on the mantle of a Pipeline TD.
 

Sharing Knowledge, Inspiring Growth

My commitment to knowledge sharing led me to become a Trainer's Assistant, guiding the next generation through the pyCurious program. This experience was immensely rewarding, fueling my passion for technical direction and mentoring others.
 

The Genesis of Pipeline TD

The foundation of my career was laid at Rhythm & Hues, where I learned the ropes of Matchmove and RotoAnim. There, we harnessed proprietary software, Voodoo, and I began crafting code snippets to enhance our efficiency. Little did I know that this was the dawn of my illustrious journey as a Pipeline TD.

Continual Growth

In the ever-evolving landscape of CG visual effects and film, I remain steadfast in my commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation. My insatiable curiosity drives me to uncover groundbreaking solutions that are not only efficient but also reusable.

I am always ready to expand my horizons, eager to embrace new challenges, and excited to be a part of a world that blends artistry and technology seamlessly. Welcome to my journey - a fusion of creativity and technical acumen that fuels the magic of visual storytelling.
