• Broadcast Systems Engineer

  • Oct 2015 - Sep 2016

  As the broadcast engineering team grew and adapted at Scripps, I moved up into the position of Broadcast Systems Engineer. This involved taking a step back from the support responsibilities of my old role, which allowed me to now focus on new responsibilities, including implementing new systems and workflows as directed by the Systems Architect.

• Systems Supervisor

  • Sep 2014 - Sep 2015

  As part of my first role at Scripps Networks I was responsible for the maintenance and support of several broadcast critical systems that form our content production and delivery chain. These systems include MAM, Transcode, AutoQC, Video Edit, Network Storage solutions and other systems. I was also responsible for devising and implementing and extending workflows to meet new business demands and new internal requirements.The role also covered providing first line support for the aforementioned systems. As a result of this I have grown in my ability to work under pressure and have learned how to better prioritise work. The support aspect of the role also gave me a wide view of all the various departments, systems and workflows that interact with the core broadcast systems, with teams across the business requiring their needs to be met within the workflows that are implemented into the core broadcast systems.
