Hi, I’m Andrew J. Tinari, a design and production professional with extensive experience in technical design, automation, and team leadership within the film, entertainment, and fabrication sectors. I excel at turning complex mechanical concepts into clear, actionable diagrams and SOPs, and I enjoy collaborating across departments to deliver projects on time and to spec. I have built and led design and automation teams, implemented collaborative tools and servers to improve communication, and sourced materials and finishes for a wide range of builds, including mobile sets and COVID-related dividers. I value hands-on problem solving, clear communication, and continuous learning, and I’m excited to bring these strengths to new challenges.
