30 years in CG/VFX production.
2.5 years obsessed with making generative AI actually work.

About

Senior CG Technical Artist and GenAI Pipeline Architect with 30+ years of experience delivering visual content for feature film, broadcast, advertising, and live events. For the past 2.5 years, focused on generative AI pipeline development — building and productionizing ComfyUI-based and agentic workflows in a professional production environment.

At Dentsu America's Innovation & Emerging Technology group, I architected a GenAI-based pipeline that replaced traditional CGI product photography workflows — delivering thousands of production-quality assets without a dedicated VFX team, at a fraction of the time and cost.

Unlike a lot of artists with my background, I ran toward generative AI instead of away from it.
