Spearheaded and owned the end-to-end on-set VFX production process (collaborating with costume, set design, prop, location, previs/techvis vendors, cast, ADs, etc; the crew had over 2000 people)
Faced unprecedented challenges requiring innovative solutions (as many workflows lacked prior examples)
Managed an extraordinary workload (12~14 hours a day during principle photography)
Streamlined data management workflows (built a database, managed it)
