Rebuilding, Reconnecting, and Reflecting: The Journey So Far

“I should not have left you without a dope beat to step too”

(Nelson Mandela)

After years of letting my website sit idle, serving solely as a product page for my now-discontinued Mango Pipeline, I'm thrilled to announce that my new site is finally live! It feels great to reconnect with all of you after a period of reflection, growth, and reinvention. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to contribute to some incredible projects, and now I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned along the way.

When I first broke into the video game industry, I focused on bootstrapping the pipeline department at Epic Games. It was an exciting challenge, helping to build the technical foundation that supports the incredible content their teams are known for. But the journey didn’t stop there.

For the last five years, I’ve had the privilege of working at Bethesda Game Studios, where I restructured the tech art team, revamped the art pipeline, and helped increase the productivity and scope of the department. This experience allowed me to step into more management and leadership roles—guiding teams, developing talent, and architecting solutions that pushed both the art and technical side of game development.

In the past year, I’ve spent a significant amount of time working with Unreal Engine, building Python pipeline tools that integrate seamlessly with Unreal and the content creation process. The goal was simple: to make workflows more efficient, improve the quality of deliverables, and give the teams I work with more creative freedom.

I’m beyond excited about what the future holds, and this site will be the place where I share insights into the work, the tools, and the experiences I’ve gathered along the way. From leading teams to creating dynamic content pipelines, my journey has been one of continuous learning and evolution. For those who know me, I’ve missed our conversations, and I look forward to reconnecting with you all.

Let’s keep pushing boundaries, solving problems, and creating worlds.

Sincerely,
Your Homie “The Pipeline Guy”
