Consulting for Media, Visualization and Production Workflows
Hendrik Budde
Freelance · available for hire
Technical consultant for visualization, realtime technology and production workflows.
I work where software, hardware and production processes meet – in design studios, ergonomics labs, factory planning and post-production.
Profile
What I do
I work freelance and am available for hire – for single tasks as well as longer project phases. Alongside that I am permanently employed at digital crafted GmbH.
I advise companies on decisions that are technical and procedural at the same time: which platform carries the workflow, how engineering data reaches a realtime scene, why a VR rig fails during a review, and what a colour chain looks like that holds from screen to print.
I stay close to the implementation. I write the tools that carry the process, set up the systems and train the teams that work with them afterwards.
