Technology architecture, programming and design of systems and software applications. Media server workflow, screen production, advanced network deployment. For projects that need specialist depth, system awareness, and dependable execution.
I build the engineering framework projects require and plug in where technical ownership matters most — whether that means media servers, screen systems, projection, surrounding infrastructure, or client-facing technical problem solving.
Core Strengths
Media server programming and system design
Screen production engineering end-to-end
Full infrastructure and surrounding systems awareness
Client-facing technical problem solving
Best Fit
Strongest in project-based system deployment and screen production engineering where full ownership and surrounding infrastructure awareness matter. Adaptable across production scales and technical environments.

Infrastructure
Supporting Technical Knowledge
IP Video Environments
Working knowledge of ST 2110 infrastructure and integration into environments designed by others. NDI routing, monitoring, and bandwidth optimization. Hybrid SDI and IP workflows with gateways and conversion layers.
Dante Audio & Video
Dante audio and video networking, configuration, routing, and redundancy. Vendor-specific deployment standards with onboarding collaboration as needed.
Network Architecture
Advanced network literacy across security, segmentation, failover, high availability, and escalated infrastructure development. Cable plant familiarity for temporary AV installations.
Vectorworks & 3D CAD
Full Stack CAD design, product creation, engineering, and file/project management across multiple platforms with cross-system integration.
Working Style
Documentation and Delivery Discipline
Clean, systematic, and handoff-ready. Documentation and commissioning practices that match the production environment and leave systems in a state others can operate confidently.
Adapting to client and production company documentation standards first, then extending and improving knowledge management where it adds value. Systematic commissioning, validation checklists, walkthroughs, and clean handoff discipline on every project.
