At Disney Television Animation he turned a proof-of-concept watermarking tool into a studio-grade system and designed vendor-tracking data models; prior roles include large-scale archival and USGS data pipeline work.

Notably, his background in education and science informs a methodical, metrics-driven approach to documentation, mentoring, and process improvements.
