About

With a rich background in leading teams and delivering high-impact solutions in the tech and AV production space, I bring expertise in managing large-scale events, deploying cutting-edge event production technologies, and streamlining workflows for maximum efficiency. My experience spans across production management, team leadership, and technical operations for global organizations, including Google and NBC Sports Bay Area. As a production manager, I've led cross-functional teams in delivering seamless AV and live event experiences, from corporate webcasts to high-profile conferences. I’m particularly skilled in event technology, unified communications platforms, and large-scale AV support. I have hands-on experience with advanced production systems like SONY ELC, INews, Chyron ISQ, Yamaha, Tricaster, Blackmagic, and Crestron, along with a deep understanding of video conferencing tools such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex. After years of successfully managing teams, I am now seeking to shift focus to a single-contributor role where I can leverage my technical expertise and passion for problem-solving. My goal is to work on projects that challenge me to drive quality, efficiency, and innovation, while continuously improving processes in the tech and production space.
