Pipeline Technical Director & Applied AI Developer with 20 years of experience building procedural 3D systems, simulation workflows, and software automation across 180+ productions. Specialized in taking technical challenges end-to-end—from DCC pipeline architecture (Houdini, OpenUSD, VEX, Python) to full-stack web applications, headless data scrapers, and applied AI systems.
ConnectVFX — Studio Job Board & Scraper Pipeline
Automated pipeline monitoring open roles across 1,200+ VFX, animation, and gaming studios globally.
- Data Ingestion: Direct REST connectors for Greenhouse/Lever/Workday + headless Playwright scrapers for custom career portals. Stores raw HTML snapshots in Git for change tracking and debugging.
- Parsing & Fallback: Multi-model parsing waterfall (DeepSeek primary with automated fallback to Gemini and Qwen) with structured schema extraction.
- LLM Preprocessing: Cheerio-based HTML extraction strips navigational boilerplate, reducing input token volume by ~70%.
- Skill Extraction: Parses job descriptions to automatically index tool requirements (Houdini, USD, VEX, Python, Maya, Unreal, Nuke).
- Multi-Channel Syndication: Automated broadcast engine formatting and distributing curated job alerts to LinkedIn, Discord webhooks, and Reddit communities.
CineScript — AI Storyboard Generator
Full-stack web application converting screenplays and shot lists into multi-panel visual storyboards.
- Character Consistency: Generates and injects character reference model sheets into image prompts (FLUX / SDXL) to eliminate visual drift across shots.
- Screenplay Parser: Multi-step prompt parser deconstructing script sluglines and scene action into camera lenses, lighting setups, and blocking directives.
- Client-Side Export: Renders multi-page storyboard PDFs directly in the browser via canvas streaming to minimize server load.
- Stack: React 19, TypeScript, Vercel Serverless Functions, Stripe billing.
Procedural asset generation and simulation systems in SideFX Houdini for VFX and computer vision datasets.
- Synthetic Datasets: OpenUSD & Solaris pipelines with domain randomization (lighting, textures, wear) to generate training data for computer vision models.
- Procedural Tooling: Custom HDAs and VEX algorithms for geometry synthesis, destruction, and crowd behavior.
- Production Background: 20 years in VFX production, including biomechanical cardiac simulation (HeartWorks) and crowd systems exceeding 100,000 agents across 180+ productions.
VoiceMutex: Inter-process concurrency lock preventing audio collisions during parallel terminal agent runs.- Local Scrapers: Playwright collectors that parse and write directly to local SQLite without external dependencies.
- Workflow Tooling: Custom developer CLI extensions and automation scripts for terminal-driven coding.
