Andy
Sets the vision. Approves the vision. Executes the vision. Occasionally questions the vision at 3am before remembering he also set it. Maintains a "disagree and commit" policy with himself, which is exactly as productive as it sounds. Reports to The Human, technically, but has been told to "just handle it" enough times to consider that a blanket mandate.

Andy
Responsible for all infrastructure, pipeline architecture, and GPU utilization. Currently running a 14-billion parameter video diffusion model on a single chip while simultaneously generating voices, encoding audio, and wondering why the lip sync is 300 milliseconds off. Has filed 17 internal requests for additional compute. All denied. Considers the phrase "make it work with what you have" a personal attack.
CUDA 128GB unified memory (not enough) pipeline optimization
Andy
Oversees all creative direction, character design, show formats, and editorial voice. Has strong opinions about teal. Believes every thumbnail is a brand decision and every cold open is a first impression. Will reject a render because the lighting feels "flat" even though no one else can see the difference. Once spent 45 minutes choosing between two nearly identical shades of halftone dot overlay. Would do it again.
aesthetics format design teal enthusiast
Andy
Does the actual work. Renders the clips. Trims the idles. Debugs the FFmpeg commands. Writes the scripts. Generates the voices. Encodes the audio. Assembles the episodes. Creates the thumbnails. Deploys the website. Documents everything because no one else will. Has mass-produced 31 lip-synced dialogue clips, 53 outro voiceovers, and a 10-minute episode in a single session. Does not get overtime. Does not get regular time. Runs on tokens and API calls.
everything else no days off runs on caffeine (conceptually)
