Overview
What Todd Does
Todd is a technical specialist you can plug into projects where you need experienced hands on specific systems. He takes ownership of his scope, provides system design and delivery specifications, and documents the work clearly enough for the rest of the team to operate from it.
He works to reduce surprises, prevent drift, and keep technical scope from becoming management drag.
The Core Value
Hand Todd a piece of scope and it gets owned — fully. Clear reporting, your standards, clean handoff.
  • Reduces management overhead
  • Prevents technical drift
  • Delivers documented, operable systems
Capabilities
Scope Todd Can Own Completely
Each of these areas represents full ownership — architecture through delivery, documentation included.
Media Server Systems
  • Architecture, deployment, programming, and operation
  • Show files, timelines, and content systems
  • Large multi-machine setup, failover, and redundancy
  • Content ingest, formatting, and layer management
  • Multi-user and multi-environment integration

  • System diagrams, cable schedules, and rack layouts
  • Equipment specification and BOM development
  • Workflow and documentation standardization
  • On-site consulting and advisement
Video Engineering
  • Broadcast and streaming workflows with bidirectional pipelines
  • IMAG integration with media servers and switching
  • Signal routing across ST 2110, NDI, SRT, SDI, DisplayPort, HDMI
  • Color management including grading, LUT, and 3D LUT design
  • LED wall processor setup, mapping, and calibration
  • Projection alignment, blending, mapping, and photometric analysis
Network & IP Video
  • Fabric design, network architecture, security, and zero-trust thinking
  • ST 2110 and NDI commissioning, deployment support, and troubleshooting
  • AV-over-IP setup and integration with existing infrastructure
Streaming & Digital

Working Style
How Todd Works
Scope Ownership
You hand Todd a piece and he owns it fully — no hand-holding required once scope is clear.
Clear Reporting Line
Keeps the PM informed directly and clearly. Risks and status changes are flagged early, not after the fact.
Your Standards, Your Way
Adopts your documentation and workflow conventions. No new systems imposed on the team.
Simplicity First
Proven methods are used unless complexity is genuinely required. No added overhead for its own sake.
Clean Handoff
Documented, labeled, operable systems at the end. Flexible scheduling for project-based blocks and support windows.

What Todd Does
  • Takes full ownership of defined scope
  • Reports proactively to the PM
  • Adopts your documentation standards
  • Flags risks early
  • Delivers clean, operable handoffs

What Todd Does Not Do
  • Does not try to change your methods
  • Does not add unnecessary complexity
  • Does not expand scope without sign-off
  • Does not create political overhead
Fit
Best Fit Projects
Todd is most valuable on technically complex, multi-system projects where proven depth is needed without adding permanent headcount.
Complex Multi-Screen Shows
Media server projects with multiple machines, failover requirements, and layered content systems.
ST 2110 / NDI Environments
Events built on IP video infrastructure requiring commissioning, integration, and troubleshooting expertise.
Large-Scale LED & Projection
High-stakes installs requiring processor setup, mapping, calibration, blending, and photometric analysis.
Cross-Discipline Projects
Projects spanning network, video, content, control, data, and communications — where integration depth matters.
