Petru Ciobanu is a Lead Pipeline TD based in Vancouver with 11 years of experience building production-ready tools and automation for VFX pipelines. At Image Engine he progressed from Pipeline TD to lead roles, driving pipeline development and artist-facing tooling. His freelance work shows a practical focus on cost-saving automation—most notably an EC2-based render queue that halved render costs—and custom Blender/GIMP add-ons and Go-based proxy and sync tools that simplified artist workflows. Trained in physics and multimedia post-production (Università degli Studi di Firenze; Universitatea de Stat din Moldova), he blends strong technical foundations with creative production sensibilities. Petru is comfortable across systems, cloud, and developer tooling, and still frames his career as a continuous learning journey toward professional mastery.
