About

With over 20 years in AV, I’ve built my career across live events, broadcast, and film — working at the intersection of technology and real-world production.My experience spans the full spectrum of visual technology — from traditional AV systems to XR workflows and LED integration.Today, I co-lead three businesses, each playing a distinct role in this ecosystem:SBS Audio Visual Delivering technically robust, high-impact live event production across corporate, broadcast, and live environments.Recode XR Studio Providing virtual production and XR solutions — supporting brands, agencies, and production teams with flexible, in-camera environments for content, advertising, and film.PixelLogic Solutions (PLS) UK distributor of Uniview LED technology — offering AV integrators and rental companies UK-based stock, technical guidance, and after-sales support within a dedicated trade-only model.Across all three, the focus is the same: making complex systems work seamlessly — so the technology disappears, and the experience takes centre stage.I typically collaborate with: - Brands, production companies, and technical teams delivering live, broadcast, or hybrid events - Advertising agencies and film production teams exploring virtual production and XR - AV integrators and rental companies seeking reliable LED supply, UK stock, and technical supportIf you’re working in any of these areas and need things to work properly — on site, in studio, or at system level — I’m always open to a conversation.Technical Expertise: Virtual Production, XR Studio Design, LED Volume Integration, AV Integration, Real-time Rendering, In-Camera VFX, Audio-Visual Systems, Live Event Production, Technical Direction, Display Technology, Lighting & VideoIndustries: Broadcast, Film, Live Events, Corporate Productions, Experiential Marketing, Digital Installations

Senior Technical Service Engineer

AMS Neve

Burnley, England, United Kingdom

Neve Electronics, established in 1961 by the late Rupert Neve and Advanced Music Systems, established in 1976 by Mark Crabtree, amalgamated in 1990 to form the parent company ‘AMS Neve Ltd’. Combining AMS’s digital expertise, with the Neve analogue superiority and supported by original Neve Engineers, has resulted in the ultimate console and sound recording equipment on the market. I started my role at Neve as a recent graduate in 1999 as an electronic bench test engineer, testing ADC, DAC, AES and DSP PCB boards for the digital film and post-production audio mixing consoles such as DFC, MMC and Gemini. Moved into System testing and then into installation, commissioning and technical support for film, TV and broadcast studios worldwide. My 4 years at Neve as young and ambitious person put me in good stead for my future career paths.
