AV Infrastructure & Broadcast Engineering
Computer Engineering student at Purdue University. I design, build, and operate IP-based AV and broadcast infrastructure — from university esports arenas to professional production facilities.
Background
It started with a Windows PC teardown with my dad. That spark turned into an insatiable drive to learn everything K–12 wouldn't teach: networking, AV systems, broadcast production, infrastructure design.
Now that I'm studying Computer Engineering and have real clarity on what I want to do, the focus has shifted to something my degree will never cover: practical systems design and broadcast operations. Purdue doesn't have a broadcast engineering program. There's no career fair track for this field, no professor pointing the way. Everything in this portfolio came from finding the opportunities myself.
A tour of The Weather Channel's broadcast facility: a server room spanning half a floor, thin-client control surfaces, centralized processing at scale, made the destination clear. This is the work I want to do.

The moments behind the résumé.
Broadcast & AV Infrastructure Intern
I'm looking forward to working on new projects in IFB and VTR systems this summer.
Audio Engineer
Three years on stage with PVGC gave me a performer's perspective on what a system needs to do. Taking over as audio engineer for 2026-27, where I will commission a new rig: Behringer Wing, Shure ULX-D wireless, StageConnect P24 monitoring. Getting to put together the system I'll then operate on tour is the best possible introduction to a new discipline.
Broadcast Production & Engineering Coordinator
My first role where I was fully responsible for both building the system from scratch and keeping it running. The constraints were real: small budget, no infrastructure, no precedent. I had to think my way through every decision. Managing a team while the system is live every match week is a different kind of pressure from building it in the first place.
LED Tech — Arena EDM Show
I taught myself a crash course in NovaLCT LED configuration in six hours to get the 3 different LED panel types on stage and in the air working before showtime. When I explained my work to the full-time staff, they said they probably knew this better than they did.
Enterprise IT Infrastructure Intern
This role taught me a lot about how infrastructure decisions get made at scale — and how slowly. I came in wanting to move fast and learned that large organizations move deliberately for reasons that aren't always obvious from the outside. Valuable perspective, even if it confirmed what I don't want my day-to-day to look like.
Technical Director & Producer · Peachtree Live
Being approached to build something from scratch by an organization I'd just been volunteering for is a specific kind of validation. I was 17 and they handed me two multi-day tournaments with 2,000+ spectators. I didn't fully appreciate how unusual that was until later.
Creator Hub · Panel Stage Manager
My first paid production gig. Four days in a professional live event environment at a scale I hadn't experienced before. I was thrown in and figured it out, which turned out to be the template for most of what followed. I'm looking forward to returning for the 2026 event in May!
IT Intern
Three weeks at a Fortune 500, never on the same thing twice. I built a tool nobody asked for because I saw a problem and solved it. That script's foundation is still powering the TechKnow Bar today.
Camera Operator & Video Director
The place where I learned that live means live. No do-overs, no second chances. Starting on camera before I had any real training taught me to trust my instincts under pressure, which has turned out to be more useful than any formal credential.
Before all of this
Origins
Took apart a PC with my dad in 1st grade. Ran the computer lab before school through 5th grade. Went back to my elementary school on Tuesdays and Thursdays in 6th grade just to keep helping through "Tech on the T's." Choir from elementary school through Purdue Varsity Glee Club. FLL, FTC, and FRC robotics through senior year. A morning broadcast in middle school, edited in iMovie, played back every day. None of it was a plan.

I'm currently seeking full-time roles in AV infrastructure, broadcast engineering, and systems integration starting May 2027. Open to internships, freelance, and conversations.
