Nikita Vendel
@nikitavendel
I support technical workflows—troubleshooting audio systems while training teams and explaining complex concepts.
What I'm looking for
I’m a communications graduate with hands-on experience supporting technical workflows in studio, educational, hospitality, and creative environments. I’m known for troubleshooting issues quickly, coordinating with others in real time, and making complex technical concepts understandable for users with different experience levels.
In recording and media support, I helped run practical exams on studio hardware and signal flow, while explaining audio engineering concepts to students. I supported sessions by fixing equipment and software problems mid-class—whether it was gear issues, DAW crashes, or signal chain problems—so learning could continue without disruption.
I also build repeatable workflows: I set up studios before sessions by handling gear selection, configuration, and recall from previous setups. I contributed to podcast-focused technical work including recording & editing, audio cleanup, and mixing—always with attention to quality and consistency.
Beyond the studio, I’ve led customer-facing support teams and coordinated fast-paced operations. As Head of Support Staff, I ran a team of 5, trained and onboarded new staff to match workflow and service standards, handled customer complaints in real time, and supported creative production work such as co-production contributions, sound design, and visual production assistance.
