●​ Spearheaded the end-to-end development of a full-stack machine learning pipeline converting PDF flowcharts into proprietary process flows, automating a task that previously took 30+ minutes
●​ Engineered a scalable, containerized architecture using Docker, MMDetection, and OpenCV for modular, GPU-accelerated deployment across environments
●​ Developed a computer vision model achieving 77.5% mAP@50, surpassing internal benchmarks and still improving
●​ Integrated the ML pipeline into backend infrastructure using Spring WebFlux and PostgreSQL for async inference, real-time SSE streaming, and persistent data storage Show less

●​ Built the initial machine-learning pipeline to extract process flows from PDF documents using MMDetection and Python, reducing manual processing time by 70%
●​ Investigated and evaluated 10+ computer-vision architectures, selecting and customizing MMDetection for production
●​ Containerized the ML pipeline using Docker and NVIDIA CUDA images for local and remote development
●​ Researched, selected, and augmented a 1,000+ image dataset, including annotation and preprocessing using OpenCV Show less

Worked alongside clients in areas including object insertion, tracking, rotoscoping, chroma keying, color correction, simulations and much more in both live action and fully 3D environments. Workflow often includes applications such as After Effects, Cinema4D, Redshift, X-Particles, Mocha, and Red Giant Suite for VFX as well as Adobe Audition for sound effects when necessary.

Whizara is a remote teaching platform dedicated to helping students learn code. During my time with Whizara, I worked with students and classrooms (K-12), teaching them Scratch, Python, and Java. Worked through lesson plans and adapted each class to fit the students needs.

Worked along side other Visual Effects artists to create the effects for A Christmas Letter. Jobs included, object removal, inserting 3D objects/effects, rotoscoping, chroma keying and compositing. This was done using a combination of Cinema 4D for the 3D elements and After Effects for composition and 2D elements.

Ajax Creative is a production company based out of Ottawa, mainly focusing in commercial productions. During my time doing contracted work at Ajax, I did the motion graphics and compositing for multiple commercials including being the sole motion graphic editor on their Ruckify commercial. My workflow regularly included use in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro and Cinema 4D.

Worked as a member of Actors Union, known for Shelby (2014), Spun Out (2014) and Dan for Mayor (2010).

-​ Led a project designing and deploying a computer vision system
improving data processing efficiency by 30% using TensorFlow,
Python, and OCR (including Tesseract) for advanced data processing.
-​ Oversaw project development, ensuring efficient implementation and
integration of machine learning techniques.
- ​Collaborated in an agile development team, managing tasks and sprints
using Jira.

Worked with artists Skyth and Famous Spear to create set visuals for the 2020 Gekk the Halls virtual EDM festival. Visuals made using Cinema 4D / After Effects and edited together using Premiere Pro.

Worked with multiple artists to edit live sets of the 04 Takeover for virtual release. Workflow included After Effects and Premiere Pro.
