AV/IT Field Engineer & Python Developer
I build automation tools for live event systems and enterprise networks.
Personal Site • Blog • Bluesky
I manage AV systems and IT networks in Chicago. I have over fifteen years of field experience. I write Python and Bash scripts to automate my work.
I build custom tools for live events. I deploy network hardware and configure VLANs. I also work with Docker and video files.
Currently, I focus on GPU video transcoding and Docker for live AV.
Clean, functional, and mostly open-source.
Languages & Scripting: 
Tools & Platforms: 
AV/Video: CasparCG • QLan • ProPresenter • WirelessWorkBench • LogicPro
OS: 
A mix of field-tested utilities and learning experiments.
🏆 Featured Project: Network Triage Tool
The "Swiss Army Knife" for AV/IT Field Techs.
| The Problem | The Solution | Tech Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Disconnected tools (Nmap, Speedtest, Subnetting) slow down onsite triage. | A high-performance TUI that centralizes diagnostics into a single dashboard. | Python, Textual, Nmap, Speedtest-CLI |
- ⚡ Key Feature: Live dashboard for real-time endpoint monitoring.
- 🛠️ Impact: Streamlines troubleshooting in high-pressure live event environments.
| Project | The Problem & Solution | Tech Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Weather Bot | Static forecasts are hard to digest. This AI bot provides natural, conversational weather updates. | Python, Gemini API, OpenWeather |
| AV Subnet Calculator | Ad-heavy calculators waste time. This is a clean, ad-free IP calculator tailored for field techs. | JavaScript, HTML, CSS |
| macos-dev-launcher | Launching terminal/IDE/Docker manually wastes time. Spins up the dev environment in one click. | Bash, AppleScript |
