Listen before changing anything
I first try to understand what the artist is trying to achieve, what changed recently, and what kind of problem they are actually facing.
About
I’m a Nuke compositor moving into artist-facing tools and pipeline support
My background is in Nuke compositing, but my current direction is Pipeline / ATD-oriented: artist support, Nuke/Python tools, workflow troubleshooting, and practical production technology habits.
I care about tools and fixes artists can trust. My compositing background helps me understand why a technical issue matters: not as an abstract bug, but as something that can block a shot, break a deadline, or make an artist afraid to change the setup.
Support mindset
How I support artists
Artist goalWhat needs to work?
DiagnosisWhat is actually failing?
Safe fixWhat is the smallest reliable change?
Repeatable workflowWhat should be clearer next time?
Find the real cause
I look beyond the visible symptom: paths, versions, dependencies, color settings, render setup, environment mismatches, or workflow gaps.
Fix safely
I prefer small, reversible changes that preserve the artist’s work instead of broad changes that create new risk.
Make it repeatable
When the same issue appears more than once, I try to turn it into clearer documentation, a checklist, a shared setup, or a tool.
Technical focus
Nuke / compositing
Nuke, NukeX, ACES, EXR workflows, roto/paint, tracking, keying, cleanup, element integration, Mocha Pro, and review-driven delivery.
Pipeline / tools
Python, Nuke Python API, PySide2/PySide6, Qt UI development, JSON, GitHub, documentation, tool configuration, and safe defaults.
Support / production
Artist troubleshooting, Maya-to-Nuke handoffs, folder structures, naming, versioning, render setup, file paths, and clear explanations.
Software foundations
Java, object-oriented programming, data structures coursework, command-line basics, testing/documentation habits, and ongoing CS study.
Education
Harvard Extension School
Computer Science coursework, including Java/OOP and data structures.
Vancouver Film School
Diploma in Compositing with Honours.
Tecnológico de Monterrey
BA in Digital Art, Visual Effects, with honours.
