AI WORKFLOW INTEGRATION
I actively build and evaluate generative AI workflows for production use, with a focus on practical pipeline integration rather than theoretical capability.
Current tools include ComfyUI, Midjourney, Weavy, Runway, Higgsfield, and open-source model pipelines, deployed across visual development, environment concepting, character development, and workflow automation. My approach is pragmatic: new tools only matter if they survive contact with a real production schedule.
VIRTUAL PRODUCTION & PIPELINE DEPTH
18 years across feature film, AAA game development, and real-time virtual production. I've supervised Virtual Art Departments on LED volume stages, directed global outsource pipelines, and built cross-discipline workflows at studios including DNEG, Lightstorm, The Third Floor, Halon, and Scanline. That production foundation is what makes AI integration meaningful rather than decorative.
CONSULTING & AVAILABILITY
Available for staff roles, contract engagements, and consulting. I work with studios, production companies, and creative teams on pipeline strategy, AI workflow design, real-time environment development, and outsource management. Based in Los Angeles, open to hybrid and remote.
