Celebrate Brooklyn! at the Bandshell
The challenge: a big outdoor festival where sound, cameras and the network all have to work every night. What I did: ran the cable, installed Ethernet switches and Wi-Fi access points, ran multicamera production, and captured promotional and archival footage.
Arts for Art
Over two decades I have engineered sound for curated music and dance programs, filmed and edited the performances, and streamed them live.
Concerts & dance performances
I plan and run full video productions and live streams for concerts and dance, coordinating camera operators and sound engineers from preparation to strike.
I've worked with
- C-SPAN
- BRIC (staff engineer, 2013–2026)
- Carnegie Council
- New-York Historical Society
- Arts for Art
- Drug Policy Alliance
- Manhattan Institute
Celebrate Brooklyn! and BRIC work was done as BRIC's staff engineer. The rest is freelance work through MediaZak Inc.
