About me
I'm a lighting/AV programmer and interactive content developer. My principal interest is in show control, and I specialise in producing solutions for the management of complex or automated systems. Examples incude the tight integration of video and multimedia content into live events, innovative/interactive lighting and AV control, or interfacing with external hardware and data. I thrive off unusual problems and situations, and can quickly produce custom software to make even very technically complex work succeed.

I am an experienced LX board programmer and operator with experience using GrandMA2, ETC Eos/Expression-line, Avolites Pearl/Titan and all Zero88 consoles. I also have skills in media server programming, including Hippotizer (I am a Green Hippo trained user) and Catalyst systems. I'm a BECTU member and have full PLI cover.

I'm also a software developer, with my main skill base being Max/MSP/Jitter, which I use to produce custom multimedia and control software for clients, and also for the creation of interactive multimedia content. I maintain freeware lighting control software available from my website http://www.theimpersonalstereo.com.
