I design production workflows, specify systems, and review quotes for video, audio-visual, smart-home and solar projects. I don't sell equipment or take commissions — so the advice stays yours.
Whether it's a weekly live-streamed gig, a home cinema, a studio build, or a solar-and-battery quote you don't fully trust — you get an independent engineer's read before the money moves.
End-to-end production design for live events and content pipelines: multicam capture, live-to-disk and streaming paths, audio chains, edit and archive workflow — built to run week after week by the people you have.
Cinema rooms, multi-room audio, networks, home automation. Requirements, system design, integrator quote review and commissioning punch-lists — without the equipment margin bias.
Buyer-side screening of proposals and system choices: what the quotes actually say, what's oversized, what's missing. Detailed design and installation stay with licensed partners I help you choose.
20 minutes, free. You describe the project; I tell you which rung fits — or honestly, if this doesn't need me.
90-minute working session plus a written decision memo: options, tradeoffs, a recommendation, and exactly what to do next.
Your quotes audited against your requirements: comparison matrix, red flags, and the questions to send back before you sign.
Across the whole project: design reviews, vendor calls, commissioning punch-list. Advisory only — I don't install or manage trades.
Pro-video and AV engineering by the day: workflow design, system architecture, integration specs.
Designing and standing up a repeatable live-to-disk video production workflow for a weekly music residency — capture path, audio chain, and an operating rhythm a small crew can run every week.
Write-ups land here as projects finish — that's the deal: every engagement ends with a public artifact.
Every engagement is scoped and agreed up front — it starts with the free scoping call. Advisory only — installation and electrical work always go to licensed trades.
Tell me what you're trying to end up with — I'll tell you within 20 minutes whether I'm the right engineer for it. Remote-first across the US and Australia; on-site in the Hudson Valley, NY and across Australia.
