Key Responsibilities :

• Design and develop a Python-based tool to automatically log artist work time by tracking activity in DCC applications and identifying opened files and tasks.
• Integrate the system with Autodesk Flow Production Tracking using official APIs and event daemons.
• Collaborate with production and pipeline teams to understand requirements and tailor the tool for real-world workflows.
• Maintain and optimize existing Flow-based tools, ensuring scalability and performance.
• Implement safeguards such as idle-time detection, privacy controls, and manual override options.
• Ensure data accuracy, consistency, and integrity across tracking systems.
