About me

I'm a Bilingual Technical Director and Video Engineer with 7+ years directing live and post-production broadcast television. I run control rooms — multi-camera switching, NRCS coding, signal flow, graphics and playout — for shows that go out live, with no second takes. Comfortable on Ross, Sony, NewTek, and Blackmagic systems.
