Top SchoolKevin Poli is a Senior Pipeline Technical Director and creative technologist with nine years of experience blending computer science and visual arts to build tooling and pipelines for VFX, motion graphics, and game development.

He founded a university-backed ML toolkit for rotoscoping and has applied machine learning to visual effects and experimental 3D volume research. As a freelancer he produced end-to-end video and motion projects, including work for a Grammy-winning artist, giving him both technical depth and hands-on production sensibility.
