Audio engineer and broadcast infrastructure leader with more than 15 years of hands-on experience building and running studio systems for major studios, media companies, and technology organizations. Over the course of my career, I’ve focused on designing reliable production pipelines, leading engineering teams, and turning complex technical systems into workflows that feel simple and intuitive for creators. I enjoy bridging the gap between technology and storytelling—making sure the tools behind the scenes work smoothly so creative teams can focus on what they do best.
