Hello World!
I’m Jawad Aziz Khan
A Vancouver-based Computer Engineer and Digital Production Administrator who loves crafting creative systems, high-performance infrastructure, and thoughtful writing at the intersection of media, technology and Jungian psychology.
What? 🛠️
From administering studio-scale render farms and automated pipeline tools to augmented reality multiplayer games, I build and explore systems that bridge logic and creative expression.
Currently, as a Digital Production Administrator at Digital Domain, I manage high-throughput compute nodes, oversee production storage aggregates, handle high-stakes data I/O deliveries for major feature film clients (including Marvel Studios, Warner Bros., and Legendary Pictures), and develop custom Python pipeline scripts to streamline artist workflows.
Some of my work I’m proud of include an iOS app for family allowance and chore management, an internal admin survey engine, a health-conscious Unity game for Android, an AR multiplayer physics game, and a Python chat data analysis project. Feel free to check out My Work in detail.
Beyond production infrastructure and app/game development, I maintain a personal journal (this blog site) where I write about media literacy, digital self-hosting, depth psychology, and mythic narrative frameworks. Read them here: My Posts
Why? 🚀
I’m a creative at heart with the mind of an engineer, always seeking ways to enhance user experiences and create sustainable solutions that benefit humanity and the environment. With a solid foundation in mobile and full-stack development, I thrive on designing, building, and deploying secure, reliable, and multi-platform systems (and games!).
I’m a creative at heart with the mind of an engineer. Whether I’m optimizing the VFX render farm queue, architecting self-hosted servers for personal use, or analyzing narrative structures through Jungian depth psychology, I am driven by understanding how complex systems function — both technical and human. I thrive on designing secure, reliable, and sustainable solutions (and games!) while exploring the philosophical threads behind computing, personal digital ownership, and artistic duality.
