I currently work at Foundry as Customer Support Engineer. As a 3rd Line Engineer, I am also responsible for investigating the more complex tickets from customers. During my time in this role, my technical knowledge (such as coding with Python) has greatly improved. I believe that my communication skills have also improved as a lot of my job involves not only talking with customers but discussing issues with other members of our Customer Support team as well as with Nuke's development team.
I am also a 2016 graduate from the University of Portsmouth, holding a 1st Class BSc in Computer Animation. During my time at University, I developed my skills in 2D compositing, and I have also gone on to work with various clients on both short and feature films.
