Where Pixels Meet Purpose

I've spent a decade making the invisible visible across Los Angeles, Toronto, and New York. From Star Trek Beyond to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, I've crafted shots that audiences never question—because that's the job. But my proudest work? They Shall Not Grow Old. Restoring WWI footage frame by frame wasn't just technical work; it was preserving history so future generations can learn from the past. That project changed how I see my craft—it's not just about making things look good, it's about what those images can teach us.

Education found me through industry experience. After years of solving complex visual problems, I realized I could help others have those "aha!" moments that transformed my own career. Not everyone learns the same way—I know, because traditional methods didn't always work for me. Now I teach compositing and VFX at the college level and work with K-12 special education students, proving that everyone can master complex challenges with the right support. My goal? Bring computer animation and technical arts into primary education, where visual storytelling overlaps beautifully with core curriculum.

Code became the bridge between my two worlds. I build educational tools that save teachers hours of work—like turning lesson plans into presentations automatically. I create workflows that make compositing more efficient. I develop because I see problems that need solving, and I have the technical creativity to solve them. React, TypeScript, Next.js—these aren't just buzzwords, they're how I make the impossible practical.
