About

I’m an experienced audiovisual installation technician with a strong
background in entertainment lighting , technical project management and marine electrical systems. With 17 years in the industry covering marine electrical work, technical project management, and hands-on
AV installations, I spent 12 years working for a major cruise line in the United States, where I had the opportunity to work on diverse projects worldwide, primarily in high-profile entertainment venues on cruise ships.

I am currently working as a freelancer with a major company from the United Kingdom. I travel worldwide to install, configure, test, and program audiovisual equipment on cruise ships and ferry boats, both in dry docks and while in service. I specialize in installing, configuring, and programming advanced AV systems, including lighting, LED walls, video processors, special e ects, media servers, and control automation. I have good skills in GrandMA programming, ETC EOS, ETC Paradigm & Mosaic, Pixera, Disguise, ARKAOS, and other industry-leading technologies, with a strong focus on seamless integrations that enhance the technical and visual experience of entertainment spaces.
