SOFTWARE EXPERIENCE

Related knowledge, experience and skills

From a young age I have been fond of computers. I would build and repair them, and that passion has never waned. Gradually, I delved deeper into the world of computer systems to the point where I consider myself an agnostic in the realm of operating systems. Today, I manage my own server and cloud services, all with the aim of facilitating my work in VFX. Furthermore, I lend my support to emerging filmmaking endeavors, such as Kineastra.

I have experience with:

VMware
Proxmox
Deployments with Docker and Docker containers
General Network administration.
NAS/DAS build ups and solutions
Render farms builds with AWS Deadline Render
AWS (S3, SES, CloudFront, IAM)
Cloudflare (Tunnels, DDNS and DNS configurations, SSL certs, traffic monitoring, anti DDOS measures and load balancing)

I dabbled some HTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript just to build this website from scratch. I really enjoy learning this kind of stuff every day, and I thought that creating my portfolio website without relying on pricey website builders was an ideal and motivating challenge. With my IT knowledge, I managed to host my own website in the cloud, and the best part? It didn't cost a dime, just my time and know-how!

In light of the flourishing interest in Virtual Production, I recognized the imperative to swiftly acquire proficiency in this domain. Consequently, over the course of three months, I diligently embarked on the development form start to finish of a simple video game. I did this with the primary aim of comprehensively grasping the essential components of Unreal Engine, encompassing blueprints, materials, cinematics, metahumans, and IK rigs.
