Most recently, I led engineering and infrastructure through corporate restructuring and separation, building a fully independent media platform while maintaining uninterrupted live sports operations. I have hands-on expertise across broadcast systems, media over IP, WAN and enterprise networking, virtualization, remote production workflows, and resiliency strategy.My career includes senior engineering leadership with ESPN and WarnerMedia, where I contributed to early IP production deployments and national network launches.
