What I'm looking for

I'm bringing practical system-level expertise to senior AV and broadcast design engineering.

At I.E. Smart Systems, I engineer control-system functionality for enterprise conference facilities and large venues, integrating video routing, codecs, displays, DSP, and room-control processors. I translate client requirements into custom interfaces and workflows, and configure Q-SYS and Biamp DSP with Crestron UC environments for Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

Across I.E. Smart Systems, Root Integrated Systems, AVI-SPL / Whitlock, and Black Box Network Services, I programmed commercial AV systems and supported commissioning, troubleshooting, and technical handoffs. On Intuitive Controls, I developed multiroom control logic and reusable TCP/IP and RS-232 integrations for commercial AV equipment.
