I build products that help creative teams be better.
I'm a product designer and software engineer with over a decade experience building things for creative teams. I am currently a Staff Engineer at Industrial Light & Magic, where I have led the design and engineering of multiple products that improve creative workflows and teams by making them more collaborative, global, and focused on what they do best, creating.
Experience building from concept to deployment
I have a unique skillset and experience as a designer doubling as a software engineer. I have designed and written low-level systems such as software build, distribution and packaging systems to higher level tooling for creative workflows and UIs for artists. This has given me the ability to take a product from conception to full deployment and evolution by directly participating the entire process from top to bottom; This includes getting my hands dirty with code, coordinating infrastruture, strategy and business design with leadership, and interacting with users and stakeholders to ensure the product is always exactly what they need.
I lead global teams to succcess
I am responsible for leading a small global team of engineers and designers to build and maintain a critical suite of products that are used by artists and production teams to share and manage data (images, 3D models, files, etc) across the globe. This requires me communicate and coordinate with a large number stakeholders to ensure our product suite is always meeting the needs of the studio and artists.
