Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Martinez is a Backend Engineer and VFX artist-engineer hybrid with a decade of experience building production pipelines, full-stack tools, and large-scale playback systems for immersive displays and film VFX. He combines deep Python and Qt tooling expertise with Node/React and database skills to deliver cross-platform solutions that bridge Maya, Blender, Unreal, and proprietary hardware. His work spans render-farm automation, Deadline integration, and unified look-development toolsets—often implemented as modular host adapters that run standalone or inside DCCs. Based in Sunnyvale, he has shipped pipeline and playback software for projects ranging from holographic displays to the MSG Sphere, and excels at turning complex artist workflows into maintainable, extensible engineering systems. Unusually for a backend-focused engineer, he brings hands-on 3D artistry and compositing experience, enabling pragmatic decisions that speed production and improve visual fidelity.
