Broadcast Engineer with 8 years of experience, specializing in broadcast operations, maintenance, troubleshooting, and online streaming.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Broadcast Engineer with 8 years of experience, currently at LOOK UP TV, focused on the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of broadcast systems and IT infrastructure. I’m known for keeping transmission seamless and for implementing practical technical solutions that improve operational efficiency.
In my roles, I’ve managed end-to-end technical responsibilities—from OB operations to technical direction—while supporting reliable media workflows. I’ve also served in positions such as IT Technician, System Administrator, and Head of technical team / Broadcast Engineer.
Beyond engineering, I bring hands-on capability in video production and editing, plus experience managing a social media account. This combination helps me bridge production needs with broadcast and livestreaming requirements.
Across teams and stations, my professional ethos is simple: troubleshoot fast, document what works, and keep systems stable so content can move without disruption. I’m motivated to continue delivering dependable broadcast transmission while strengthening IT and livestreaming performance.
