What I Do
29 years solving implementation problems. I translate technical complexity into clear execution plans, build trust with customers who need things to work differently, and reduce friction between what platforms promise and what actually works in production.
Customer Implementation & Technical Delivery
Working directly with clients whose workflows need customization beyond standard product configuration. I translate operational needs into implementable technical requirements.
What You Get
I spent years at BLOX Digital handling customers with special use cases, vendor integrations, and workflows that needed to actually work the way they needed them to. I built workflow prototypes to validate integrations before engineering involvement and handled API workflows, vendor connections, and troubleshooting for video processing and distribution systems.
I understand the gap between what platforms promise and what actually works in production. My background in digital media workflows, asset management systems, and broadcast operations means I know how media companies actually operate, not just how the documentation says they should.
Typical Projects
- Custom workflow implementation and optimization
- Vendor integration and API workflows
- Platform configuration beyond standard setup
- Workflow prototyping and validation
- Technical troubleshooting and problem resolution
Platform Integration & Vendor Management
Evaluating third-party platforms, defining API requirements, and managing technical integrations that bridge multiple systems.
What You Get
I evaluated the right solution for BLOX Digital's media processing pipeline. I define API requirements and data transfer specifications with external vendors. I assess new technologies and recommend adoption based on real business value, not vendor promises.
Typical Projects
- Third-party platform evaluation and selection
- API integration design and implementation
- Vendor technical relationship management
- Multi-system workflow orchestration
- Technology assessment and adoption planning
AI & Automation Implementation
Workflow automation that delivers measurable results. Not theoretical. Shipped production systems that reduce planning time, improve documentation quality, and automate repetitive processes.
What You Get
I built automation workflows using Claude AI that reduced project planning time by 70%. Created internal mockup workflows producing React prototypes for stakeholder review. Automated release documentation using Jira and Confluence integration. Real implementations with measurable outcomes.
Typical Projects
- Workflow automation (Jira, Confluence, enterprise systems)
- AI-assisted development and prototyping
- Documentation generation and standardization
- Requirements review automation
- Custom automation tool development
Broadcast Infrastructure & Streaming Systems
Streaming infrastructure, digital platform strategy, IP video workflows, and content management systems for TV and radio broadcasters.
What You Get
8 years at Draper Media building streaming infrastructure in live production environments. Built IP-based video workflows, SDI-to-IP conversion systems, automated podcast generation from news broadcasts, and real-time streaming for Facebook Live and vMix platforms. Managed digital platforms across 4 TV stations and 7 radio stations.
I speak both engineering and operations language. I understand newsroom workflows, live production constraints, and legacy system challenges. Not learning broadcast operations on your time. I've lived them.
Typical Projects
- Streaming infrastructure design and implementation
- Digital platform strategy and rollout
- IP video workflow architecture
- Multi-station platform deployments
- Real-time production systems
