Hi! I’m Joseph O’Dell E, a hands-on AV and broadcast professional with years of experience building, operating, and troubleshooting complex live and studio environments. I’ve wired video walls, managed camera crews, and steered projection and broadcast systems for events ranging from studio shoots to large-scale live productions. I love collaborating with creatives to bring ambitious visions to life and I’m known for hands-on problem solving and calm under pressure. I thrive in fast-paced settings, enjoy tweaking signal flow and gear configurations for optimal results, and regularly mentor teams to raise the bar on quality and efficiency. When I’m not on site, I’m thinking through infrastructure improvements and data management strategies to keep shows running smoothly.
