Created end-to-end test media, including MXF files with embedded ANC/VANC and captions; validated frame rates, resolutions, bit depths, and color sampling. Collaborated with engineering teams to validate IP networking, routing, multicast/unicast, bandwidth, latency, and packet loss in streaming environments. Implemented Linux-based automation scripts and validated SDI workflows with third-party encoders/decoders.

Record vocals and instruments with high-end gear (Neumann, Sony, UA, Neve), ensuring optimal gain staging and signal integrity. Mix and master in Pro Tools and Studio One, delivering release-ready masters aligned with platform and broadcast standards. Prepare and validate deliverables across multiple formats (WAV, FLAC, AIFF, MXF), bit depths, sample rates, and loudness targets. Manage multi-channel workflows (stems, alternate versions, Dolby-oriented layouts) with correct routing, phase alignment, and synchronization. Collaborate closely with artists on performance direction and creative vision, balancing artistic intent with technical constraints. Create visual assets (album covers, promotional content) and handle basic photography need
