02 / A THREAD THROUGH IT ALL
I don’t fit in
I don’t fit in
one box.
And
that’s the point.
An animator’s sense of movement. A compositor’s eye for detail. A developer’s instinct to make it work.
I’m Jaspreet Singh — Jas for short. I’m a Software Engineering Cadet at 42 Warsaw, building on more than four years in animation and VFX. I bring creative problem-solving and production pipeline experience to software and data infrastructure.
My current focus is C, Linux, memory management, and algorithms, alongside advanced SQL, relational schema design, and modular Python data pipelines.
