Hi, I’m John Francis Bautista. I’m a Senior Audio Visual Technician with over 13 years of hands-on experience delivering live events, hotel AV support, and large-scale productions. I specialize in operating and maintaining audio and lighting systems, coordinating AV setups, and ensuring everything is ready before events start. I’m comfortable leading a crew, troubleshooting on the fly, and delivering reliable technical outcomes in fast-paced environments. I’ve contributed to pre-opening teams (including SeaWorld Abu Dhabi) and take pride in implementing safety protocols for guests and animals. I love exploring new tools and techniques to enhance the technical side of live events and continually expand my skills in AV, lighting, and sound design.
