As a Transmission Engineer and IT Manager at Streaming Media Live, I lead the orchestration of flawless live streaming experiences, leveraging advanced broadcasting technology and proactive problem-solving to ensure uninterrupted broadcasts. My role encompasses establishing redundant transmission pathways, driving innovation, and fostering collaborative leadership to deliver exceptional results in the dynamic world of live streaming.

When COVID-19 started winding down, it exposed the financial strains many companies were facing, including SetNet, where I served as the IT manager for six years. In response, we made a tough decision to shut down our Burbank office and move everything to a new office built on the owner's property, equipped with the latest in fiber and redundant microwave connections. Once we stabilized, my role transitioned from full-time to a retainer basis, opening up new avenues for me.

In the realm of digital content creation and storage, ThirdLaw embarked on a significant project to enhance its data storage capabilities, particularly for raw driving plate footage. This initiative led to the development and deployment of a bespoke 30 bay NAS (Network Attached Storage) system, designed to cater to the company's specific needs. A key component in the success of this project was the selection of storage drives - a decision that profoundly impacts the system's performance, reliability, and capacity.

I've wanted to make the dive into practical 3d printing for years. For my birthday this year, I made the plunge and picked up an Elegoo Saturn 3d Printer. Join many social networks and learn everything from the right temperature to print to best practices for curing. I haven't seen much interest in our current community, but if you are interested, give me a holler. As you know, I'm very OCD about documenting and taking notes, currently using Notion as a wiki for all my notes.

When COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill, it seemed like the motion picture industry was heading for a long intermission. But at Setnet, we saw an opportunity not just to survive but to thrive and ensure the show went on. I want to share the story of how my team and I developed a product that not only kept us afloat but also revolutionized remote production in these unprecedented times.

With the price of electricity rising to no end, we decided this was the year. We had NERDpower come out and installed our 21 Solaria PowerXT DC solar panels.

Pivot: With Covid-19 upon us and lockdowns in effect. We pivoted Setnet into remote productions. We developed a way to drop two boxes off at a location, giving us redundant stable internet and controlling real production cameras and lighting remotely.

The gas prices out here in SoCal has gone through the roof. I finally had enough paying $400+ a month in gas and pulled the trigger and took home a Tesla 2019 Model 3
