Jack of all trade with 10+ years of experience including TV/commercial/feature/visualization(even flying logos!). I can finish a shot from the start(tracking) to the end(compositing). I love technical/artistic challenge and problem solving. I am able to quickly learn and adapt to the new tools and work under tight deadlines.
