Top SchoolKihang Park is a Core Software Developer with nine years of experience building scalable CG pipelines and production tooling for top VFX studios including Digital Domain and Method Studios. He specializes in microservice-based architectures, automating complex production tasks with Python, FastAPI, Celery, Postgres and Elasticsearch to improve disk management, render-farm resilience, and project reporting. His background spans low-level Maya/C++ plugin and shader work to high-level service design, giving him rare fluency across artist tools and backend infrastructure. A mentor to junior engineers, he consistently turns creative requirements into robust, automated systems that reduce manual overhead and forecast resource needs. Uncommonly for a pipeline engineer, his career includes both hands-on shader/plugin development and large-scale orchestration systems, reflecting a blend of artistic sensitivity and systems thinking. Based in Vancouver, he brings production-hardened delivery and cross-disciplinary problem solving to CG software challenges.
