Technical work / 03
Bring me the complicated part.
My work is usually at its most valuable where infrastructure, media systems, software, and operations overlap—and where solving the problem requires understanding more than one layer of the stack.

03Server, GPU, and headend deployments
04CDN and playback optimization
05Admin platform and application improvements
06Technical audits, documentation, and handoffs
AI
Modern tools, experienced judgment.
I use AI-assisted workflows to accelerate investigation, documentation, prototyping, and implementation—while keeping architecture, security, testing, and final decisions grounded in hands-on technical judgment.
