As a seasoned Filmmaker, Director, and technologist with over a decade of experience in the film industry, I've helped numerous brands bring their visions through my expertise in creative, technical, and digital processes. As an On-Set Engine Operator in the Virtual Production department, I am responsible for operating and maintaining the Virtual Production systems and applications within the film production environment. Collaborating closely with the development team, Virtual Art Department, and Production staff, my primary focus is ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of Engine tools and content, while promptly resolving any technical issues that arise. This leadership role involves working alongside various film production departments, collaborating with the Virtual Art Department and Technical Directors, and supporting the implementation of global initiatives.

With over 2 years of experience using Unreal Engine 4.27 and higher, along with expertise in real-time rendering and visualization techniques, I bring a strong understanding of the CG pipeline in both feature films and game production. I am adept at troubleshooting, optimizing assets, and providing technical guidance to team members. With excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive under pressure, I ensure the successful execution of virtual production projects and maintain high-quality standards. Also, I deliver virtual Cinema production solutions and top-of-the-line virtual sets for various purposes, including Film, Advertising, Digital, Retail, and e-commerce.

During my tenure as a Brand Manager in the FilmTech industry, I had the privilege of managing several leading Film and TV brands across the Middle East and Africa, including RED Digital Cinema, Sony Cinema Line, Canon Cinema Line, Cooke Cinema Lenses, Carl Zeiss Cinema Lenses, and Angenieux Cinema Zoom Lenses. As an Advanced Media Trading (Worldwide Premium Dealer) representative, my responsibilities ranged from brand and product management to direct sales and business communications.

With the post-pandemic world in mind, I'm committed to offering cutting-edge Production solutions and new strategies to governments, studios, corporations, and institutions. I'm dedicated to contributing to UNICEF's mission of boosting the creative economy in the region by 2024.
