Hi, I’m Jim Goodin, a Brooklyn-based technology and production professional with extensive experience in IT support, research participation, and audio/video production. I enjoy solving problems across MacOS, Windows and Linux desktops, with strong skills in MS Office, audio/video editing, and basic programming.
In my free time I pursue analog fine art photography and music composition, and I welcome part-time or contract work in research, IT support, or production. I thrive in collaborative settings and enjoy bridging creative and technical disciplines.
