About Jonathon Leyva

I\'m a Solutions Architect with a background that spans global live production, streaming media, and cloud workflows. After spending years designing and deploying cloud-native solutions for some of the world’s biggest events and brands, I’ve recently taken on a new challenge with EVS, helping shape the future of live production from our new regional hub in Denver, CO.I specialize in bridging the gap between traditional broadcast infrastructure and modern, cloud-based workflows—whether that’s helping a customer migrate to IP, architecting scalable streaming platforms, or building hybrid solutions that meet today’s evolving media demands. In my current role, I work closely with our sales team in a pre-sales capacity to design solutions that are not only technically sound but also aligned with real-world production needs.At my core, I’m customer-focused and thrive in high-stakes, live environments. I’ve worn a lot of hats—engineer, strategist, pre-sales, project lead—and I bring that breadth to every conversation.When I’m not knee-deep in signal flowcharts or whiteboarding workflows, you’ll probably find me painting Warhammer minis, exploring Colorado, or hunting for the best espresso in town.Tools & Technologies: HLS, MPEG-DASH, RTMP, SRT, Zixi, RIST, MPEG-TS, H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, WebRTC, SMPTE 2110, NDI, SDI, AWS Media Services, Grass Valley AMPP, vMix, OBS, Telestream, Evertz, cloud-based captioning & accessibility workflows (AI captions, ASL, multi-language), and remote/hybrid production design.

Experience

1. Solutions Architect

   EVS

   May 2025 — Present · Denver, CO, US

   As a Solutions Architect at EVS, I support clients across North America by designing workflows that span live production, replay, ingest, media management, and playout. Working closely with our sales, engineering, and product teams in a pre-sales capacity, I help guide customers through real-world production challenges and deliver solutions that align with their operational needs.This role allows me to bridge traditional broadcast systems with IP- and cloud-aware workflows, bringing a hybrid mindset to every design and conversation. I serve as a technical advisor throughout the customer journey—from early discovery and workflow mapping to proof-of-concept and post-sales implementation. I’m also actively involved in launching our new regional hub at the Mountain Media Center in Denver, supporting infrastructure readiness and internal enablement as the team continues to grow.Alongside project work, I share knowledge internally and contribute to team development by bringing a global perspective on streaming and cloud-based workflows, shaped by years of experience in live, high-stakes environments.
