Welcome
Design Engineer specializing in audio-video systems, networking, and AVoIP solutions. Passionate about creating incredible experiences through innovative technology.
About Me
Creating incredible experiences has always been a core motivation for me. This passion has led me to cultivate strong systems thinking skills and a broad foundation in audio, video, lighting, and networking technologies. With a growing focus on AVoIP (Audio-Video over IP), I am particularly driven by the opportunities that networked media presents to transform how systems are designed, deployed, and experienced.
I have applied these skills in a wide range of settings, from touring professionally in both audio and lighting roles to integrating systems in churches, theatres, performing arts centers, and broadcast studios. Committed to continuous learning and raising the standard of excellence in the industry, I approach each project with a mindset of innovation, collaboration, and long-term impact.
