Nathan Rusch Email & Phone Number

I love to wear many hats, as long as there's problem solving involved.I have a broad skillset as a developer in the visual effects industry, as well as previous experience as a CG artist and a background in both 2D and 3D design processes. I've been fortunate enough to be able to develop at just about every level, from artist-facing tools and pipeline automation in just about every piece of software, to queue-agnostic job creation/execution, to one of the first fully USD-based pipelines outside of Pixar, as well as cloud infrastructure and system orchestration.● Highly proficient in a wide array of industry-standard tools, including Nuke, Katana, Houdini, Maya, and 3ds Max.● Deep experience with a range of industry-standard renderers.● Extensive development experience both within various host applications (for pipeline integration, as well as extensions/plugins), and on standalone applications and tools.● Extensive experience with a variety of RDBMS and NoSQL databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis.● Active contributor to several industry-standard open-source projects, including OpenImageIO, OpenColorIO, Rez, and USD.

Listed skills include Nuke, Compositing, Maya, 3D Studio Max, and 10 others.
