Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Jokuschies is a Senior Pipeline Engineer based in Hamburg with over a decade of experience building and modernizing Python-driven pipelines and tools for visual effects and media production. As founder of cragl vfx tools and a long-time pipeline TD at studios like Scanline VFX and Pixomondo, he blends hands-on compositor experience with robust software engineering to streamline delivery, automation, and cross-department workflows. He has a proven track record of boosting performance (notably a 700% asset-load improvement) and introducing modular, test-covered systems that scale across shows. Simon is also an experienced educator and course author in Python for Nuke, and he leverages teaching to distill complex pipelines into usable, artist-friendly tools. His work emphasizes clean, maintainable code, microservice-friendly integrations and practical GUIs for DCC applications. Less obvious: he actively experiments via personal projects and maintains a migration from GitHub to GitLab for his nukevfx group, reflecting a preference for controlled, self-hosted tooling.
