Available to hire
I’m Fabien Dostie, a creative-technical leader who thrives at the intersection of media production, technical infrastructure, and emerging technologies. I’ve directed and scaled creative teams across video production, VFX, and immersive experiences—from Ubisoft Montreal to Framestore and Felix & Paul Studios—driving ambitious projects from concept through delivery. My approach blends storytelling with practical pipelines, ensuring art and tech advance together.
Today I fuse DevOps and AI engineering with creative leadership, designing CI/CD, ML-powered workflows, and infrastructure automation to help teams ship impactful work faster and more reliably. I’m passionate about mentoring cross-disciplinary teams, building scalable pipelines, and exploring new tools that unlock creative potential.
