FX TD / Generalist TD / DIRECTOR

I am a FX TD with a strong Generalist background, currently working at Framestore London.
Nowadays I practically live inside Houdini, but I also know my way around Maya and bring along experience in Nuke, Python and VEX scripting. Furthermore, my Generalist skillset extends to tools such as Substance Painter, Zbrush and Mari.

I consider myself a problem-solver and love debugging technical problems as well as building tools and scripts to speed up work.
I enjoy being challenged with tasks outside of my comfort zone and expand my knowledge in all aspects of the CG pipeline, but I prefer FX tasks.

Outside of my dayjob in VFX I am looking to break ground as a director and cinematographer with my 3D animated shortfilm "SEN (2026)". This shortfilm, predominantly created using Maya and Arnold, was a passion-project that I have spent more than 5 years building as a one-man endeavour.

I am always open to connect and collaborate, so don't hesitate to contact me at any time.
