As an executive producer and post-production leader, I've played a pivotal role in projects amassing over a billion cumulative views, working with entities like The Walt Disney Company, Nestlé, Amazon, Ring, Tyler The Creator, Converse, and Summer Walker. Beginning my journey as a video editor, I transitioned to roles in executive producing and post-production management. I also manage The Post Flow, a platform dedicated to demystifying post-production.
At Knockdown Post, I spearheaded the development of a next-generation cloud ecosystem on Amazon Web Services (AWS), reducing operational expenses by 50%. I ran one of the first and largest cloud-based post-production studios, tailored workstations, and render AMIs for editorial and VFX needs, and established efficient post-production file systems, folder structures, and project templates. My collaborations with Visual Compute and Nimble Studio leads at AWS significantly accelerated cloud-workflow deployments. In this role, I supervised teams working with Nuke, Flame, Maya, Clarisse, Premiere Pro, Mari, and Blender.
In addition, my role as a post-production consultant for Endava has allowed me to offer strategic insights and solutions in cloud-based post-production workflows, enhancing operational efficiencies and innovation across various media partners. My co-founding role at CWBY Creative involves managing VFX-heavy videos and commercials. This work was recognized with a Cannes Young Director award nomination for 'Forever Sleep,' which later gained HBO distribution.
