Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKadie Jaffe is a software engineer-turned-writer with 11 years of experience blending production-grade engineering for animation pipelines with narrative craft as an MFA candidate in Dramatic Writing at NYU. She spent six years at Walt Disney Animation building C++ and Python tools for hair, cloth, layout, and USD pipeline conversion, and earlier modernized studio tooling, CI/CD, and Shotgun workflows at Disneytoon. Comfortable shipping low-level graphics and high-level pipeline features, she pairs technical fluency in C++, Python, Maya, and OpenGL with a storyteller’s sensitivity to creative production constraints. Her background spans internships in mobile, 3D graphics, and media operations, giving her a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on how tools shape storytelling. Colleagues rely on her to translate artist needs into robust engineering solutions that scale across studios. Pursuing dramatic writing now, she brings a maker’s discipline and an insider’s view of animation production to both code and story.
