About

Professional summary

I am a senior broadcast and studio engineer with hands-on experience in live events, AV installation, audio production, hybrid broadcasting, and technical operations. I specialise in delivering reliable, high-production-value studio and broadcast environments.

I have strong expertise in signal-flow architecture, broadcast equipment operation and maintenance, recording systems, audio consoles, microphones, DSP workflows, and real-time troubleshooting. I am comfortable working in high-pressure, system-critical production environments where reliability and rapid fault resolution are essential.

In my current role at EY Ireland, I support live broadcasts, streaming productions, podcasts, and studio operations. I provide technical guidance to stakeholders, manage production workflows from recording through delivery, and maintain seamless day-to-day operation of studio infrastructure.

My background spans traditional broadcast and AV systems as well as IP-based media infrastructure. I have practical experience with Dante, NDI, multicast, PTP, broadcast routing, video processing, live production systems, and the interaction between broadcast technology and enterprise IT networks.

I am a collaborative technical leader who enjoys managing projects, improving workflows, and helping teams achieve high-quality media output. I continually develop my knowledge as audio, broadcast, and networked media standards evolve.

Career history

Broadcast Engineer | Assistant Manager EY Ireland

I operate as a studio and senior broadcast engineer supporting EY Ireland's studio operations in Harcourt Street, Dublin. I manage live events and hybrid broadcasts that require high production values and professional broadcast transmission standards.

I monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot studio equipment to ensure essential services remain available and production environments operate seamlessly. I provide production guidance to stakeholders, lead technical delivery for live events, and manage EY podcast productions from initial recording through post-production, delivery, and distribution.

Key project work includes implementing a Dante audio network across a studio and connected enterprise locations, leading engineering for the CFO Summit, Budget 2023, and GE Summit, and serving as project lead and audio post-production engineer for the CEO Outlook and CFO Outlook podcasts.

AV Engineer Creative Technology Ireland

I worked for Creative Technology Ireland, one of Ireland's largest AV and live-events companies. I initially worked as an Audio Engineer before progressing to AV Engineer responsibilities.

I was based on-site at Microsoft Ireland in Leopardstown, Dublin, where I supported challenging live events and audio and video post-production projects within a large corporate environment. My work included AV systems support, event production, installation work, and technical delivery for enterprise media projects.

Notable work included supporting the DreamSpace Virtual programme, reaching 60,000 students in 2020, completing a network cabling refresh and Atrium Dante audio solution at One Microsoft Place, and contributing to installations at the National Rehabilitation Hospital and RTÉ Lotto Studio.
