Education & Qualifications:
I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Production Lighting from The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in July 2022. Additionally, I hold an NCRQ Health and Safety for Managers qualification, am first-aid trained, possess a valid IPAF ticket, and have a full, clean UK driving license.
Technical Skills:
- Lighting Systems: EOS, MA2, MA3, CuePoints, RoboSpot (incl. multi-device), Pathscape, Araneo, Wireshark, Depence, Capture, Lightwright, Vectorworks, Adobe CC, Microsoft Office.
- Operating Systems: MacOS, Windows OS (including Windows Server OS), and Linux
- Networking: Expertise in IPv4 configurations for production environments, with proficiency in Cisco, NetgearAV, MikroTik, UniFi, Pathway, and Luminex. Efficient management of sACN, Art-Net data streams, merges. Can demonstrate proficiency when working in environments that handle RSTP, LACP, VLANs, Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast traffic, developing fault-tolerant network topologies.
I believe that continually refining these skills is essential as more productions embrace scalable, shared, high-speed show-control infrastructure, ensuring precision, synchronisation, and redundancy across departments.
