Matthew Parrott is a Driving revolutions in technology | Tesla, Pixar, BCG, Rivian, ILM | Unlocked 9x productivity for quantum physicists at IonQ. He possess expertise in python, computer graphics, perforce, c++, project management and 38 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I looked up to Matthew during my time at LucasArts. He is one the most proficient Technical Directors I have had the honor to work with in my career. Matthew has a knack for designing & building highly sophisticated tools for lighting, baking and shading for both offline and real-time game usage. At LucasArts, he spearheaded many efforts in improving our real time shading pipeline, and built our next generation baking pipeline using PRMan for offline processing and GI computation. He taught me the basics of RenderMan SL and integrated his entire lighting data flow pipelines into our node graphs for ease of use by artists while making sure the generated code interoperated smoothly and optimally with our runtime engine. Would jump at the chance to work with him again.", "It was a true privilege to work with Matthew on The Force Unleashed. He has incredible talent and an a great attitude, producing amazing work on a daily basis even with restrictive tools and intense deadlines. The word "rockstar" is often overused, but Matthew is the real deal: skilled, passionate, and an all-around great guy. I'd work with him again without hesitation.", and "Matthew is a highly adept engineer and played a pivotal role within the TD group at Lucas, but it's his no-nonsense work ethic that makes him so effective. Matthew totally manages to extract himself from the office politics and red-tape that often slows us down and simply gets things done. Combined with a big picture mindset and ability to win people over (from customers to the executive team) he was able to achieve goals that fundamentally improved the way *all* artists and TDs worked across *all Lucasfilm divisions*. I've worked with few engineers / systems architects who are so personable, team-oriented, smart, and highly motivated to achieve the impossible. Matthew is a true multiplier with a high degree of integrity, an absolute asset to any team."
