Behind the Work:
As Lead Audio Engineer at CoinDesk TV from 2021–2024, I played a key role in launching a fully operational live news network during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Working with a small team of producers and technical directors, I helped build a hybrid production studio in New York City’s Flatiron District, designed for remote operability to ensure continuity during shutdowns and quarantine protocols.
I engineered audio for three live daily broadcasts—First Mover (9am), The Hash (12pm), and All About Bitcoin (3pm)—mixing in real time via an Allen & Heath console, remotely accessible through secure network routing. Our video switching and graphic layout system ran through vMix, allowing seamless multi-location contributions.
Key responsibilities included:
-
Design and execution of mix-minus/mix-plus routing
-
Live IFB and PL communication systems
-
Remote coordination with field producers and talent
-
Troubleshooting complex signal chains in hybrid environments
-
Equipment inventory, patching, and session logging
-
Quality control and file delivery for archival and post
I also supported large-scale offsite productions, including CoinDesk’s Consensus Conference, providing remote engineering for panel discussions, live hits and uplinks. This role demanded deep fluency in streaming audio standards, fast-paced technical adaptability, and the ability to keep high-stakes productions running smoothly under evolving constraints.
