Hi, I’m Jonas Almeida. I’m a versatile post-production and training professional with a passion for composing, motion graphics, color grading, and visual effects. In recent years I’ve expanded into data engineering and analytics, applying a data-driven mindset to streamline creative workflows and deliver exceptional results on international projects. I thrive coordinating remote teams of artists and assets across borders to meet tight deadlines while maintaining creative quality. I’m fluent with a wide range of software (Nuke, Fusion, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere) and comfortable coding in Python, exploring AI/ML applications to enhance pipelines. I love mentoring others, designing engaging training programs, and building scalable processes that empower creative teams to perform at their best.
