Senior🎓
Top SchoolAleks Katunar is a Senior Pipeline Developer and VFX technical director with nine years of focused experience building pipelines, render-farm and supercomputer UIs, and automation for studios and R&D. He blends deep practical skills in Python, Bash, Linux (Red Hat/CentOS), PBS workflows and cloud/AWS cluster management with hands-on art experience across Houdini, Clarisse, Nuke and major renderers, enabling him to bridge artist and ops needs. A natural mentor and team lead, he’s repeatedly led pipeline transitions, custom MAM and asset systems, and shader/workflow best practices on complex productions. Aleks thrives in fast-paced environments and is addicted to solving new challenges—often producing bespoke tools that remove repetitive artist work and improve throughput. Based in Croatia, he runs his own studio work while holding concurrent senior roles, showing an entrepreneurial habit of shipping practical, production-ready infrastructure. An unusual strength is his background in both projection/3D scanning installations and broadcast/interactive projects, which informs creative, cross-disciplinary pipeline solutions.
