“Steve is brilliant. His track record at ILM really took off when he architected, proposed, and led breakthroughs in ILM's matchmove technology that have remained unmatched for over a decade. And that was just the start. He grew tremendously in scope and reach at Lucasfilm, and served a variety of needs from image processing, core platform development for Zeno, app development for demanding and vocal customers, and larger team leadership. I learned while working with Steve, and while I was sad to see him leave Lucasfilm, I am excited to see what he will invent in his next incarnation.”
