🤩
RockstarAlan Fregtman is a Pipeline Developer with 12 years of experience building tooling for VFX, immersive media, and space industries from Montreal. He blends deep VFX application knowledge (Maya, Nuke, Houdini, AfterEffects) with practical engineering across Python, JavaScript, Go and SQL to automate asset pipelines and production workflows. At Felix & Paul Studios he drives pipeline integration for immersive projects while contributing to prominent open-source projects such as setuptools and spyder-ide/qtawesome, where he improved build-time file globs and icon-font support for PyQt/PySide apps. Fluent in English, French and Spanish, he pairs cross-cultural communication with a knack for turning creative production requirements into reliable, well-tested tooling. Notably, his open-source work shows he focuses on developer ergonomics as much as runtime reliability.
